Sec. 6.18 Sec. 6.19 Class 18: Changes in Organization of Local Agencies. Class 18 consists of changes in the organization or reorganization of local governmental agencies where the changes do not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised. Examples include but are not limited to: (a) Establishment of a subsidiary district. (b) Consolidation of two or more districts having identi- cal powers. (c) Merger with a city of a district lying entirely within the boundaries of the city. Exemptions. (a) Location. Class 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 are qualified by considerations of where the project is to be located --a project that is ordinarily insignificant in its impact on the environment may in a particularly sen- sitive environment be significant. Therefore, these classes are considered to apply in all instances, except where the project may impact on an environ- mental resource or hazardous or critical concern where designated, precisely mapped, and officially adopted pursuant to law by federal, state or local agencies. (b) Cumulative impact. All exemptions for these classes are inapplicable when the cumulative impact or suc- cessive projects of the same type in the same place, over time is significant--for example, annual ad- ditions to an existing buLlding under Class 1.
