Sections 15301(d) and 15302(c)
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project meets the requirements of a Class 1 Categorical Exemption in the CEQA Guidelines, where the project “consists of the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use”. The project will allow for safer and clearly signed public access into Oyster Bay. The proposed project meets the requirements for a Class 2 Categorical Exemption in the CEQA Guidelines, as the project “consists of replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities where the new facilities would be located on the same site as the facilities replaced and would have substantially the same purpose and capacity” as the replaced facilities. The project would make Neptune Drive the primary public access point into Oyster Bay, which is how most park users currently enter the park.
