<br />mix of complementary uses, community services, and people
<br />places within a walkable area. As proposed, the Project will
<br />promote a complete neighborhood by providing school uses
<br />to the surrounding residential community within the vicinity.
<br />The school will act as an added service for the neighbor ing
<br />properties and nearby neighborhoods.
<br />Section 2. In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
<br />and the CEQA Guidelines, the Project is exempt from further review per Section 15314
<br />(Class 14 – Minor Additions to School). The Class 14 exemption consists of minor
<br />additions to existing schools within existing school ground s where the addition does not
<br />increase the original student capacity by more than 25 percent or ten classrooms. The
<br />proposed school will not increase the student capacity by more than 25 percent and it
<br />only proposes to add four classrooms and one laboratory. Based on this analysis, a Notice
<br />of Exemption, Environmental Review No. 2023-34, will be filed for this Project.

<br />any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments, agencies, authorized

<br />equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative dispute
<br />resolution procedures (including, but not limited to arbitrations, mediations, and such
<br />other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively “Actions”), brought
<br />against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments,

<br />California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning Law, the Subdivision Map
<br />Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or any other federal, state or local

<br />competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed that the City shall have the right to approve
