e) Determine that recommended action b) continues to be exempt from the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no substantial changes are proposed to the project as covered by the Notice of Exemption (NOE) (GSD-030624-20041-0001) approved and adopted by the Board for this project on March 6, 2025 NOE, and no new information of substantial importance has come to light regarding environmental effects of the project or of the sufficiency or feasibility of mitigation measures, and therefore these actions are within the scope of the NOE, and determine that therefore no new environmental document is required.
