highways, hazardous waste sites, historic resources, or other sensitive natural environments, or have a cumulative effect to the environment. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated to occur with the Amendment, permitting continued use of existing public parking lots.
Section 15301 – Class 1 Existing Facilities Exemption: This categorical exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, provided the exemption only involves negligible or no expansion of the previous site’s use. The project, as proposed, is limited to the Fourth A mendment to the existing Parking Lot Management Agreement for upgrades to an existing airport facility and would include the continued maintenance, operation, and repairs of the PARCS at the facility to keep the airport functional. This project will take place within the existing footprint of FAT’s public parking lots. SP Plus will be installing pole mounted license plate recognition cameras 15-20 feet from the entrances and exits; associated cabling through existing conduits and hardware (antennas, controllers, mounts); and bollards to protect the equipment.
SP Plus will also be installing 55” outdoor displays at parking lot exi ts to relay payment information to the public. Gate arms and columns from the existing SKIDATA PARCS will be used with the Metropolis system and be replaced with new gate arms and columns as needed. Ticket machines and payment columns from the SKIDATA PARC S will be physically removed. The management of the facility by SP Plus would be consistent with the current land use and would not require any expansion of public services and facilities; therefore, the project is exempt as the project meets the scope and intent of the Class 1 Exemption identified in Section 15301, Categorical Exemptions of the CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, the City of Fresno Airports Department hereby concludes that no significant physical environmental impacts are anticipated to occur and the project as proposed is exempt under CEQA.
No further environmental analysis is warranted.
