Section 7. CEQA Compliance. The City has determined that approval of the
Purchase and Sale Agreement, along with the proposed rehabilitation work, is not a
project subject to environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970 (CEQA), as amended, and the Guidelines promulgated thereunder.
Specifically, the City’s approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, combined with the
planned rehabilitation activities, is determined to be exempt from CEQA review under
several applicable exemptions including, among other things, the following:
Existing Facilities Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines § 15301) - The Project
involves negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing at the time of the City's
determination. The Property is currently used for industrial purposes, specifically for
storage and warehousing. The proposed rehabilitation work, including new fencing,
paving, landscaping, security enhancements, minor interior remodeling, and electrical
and mechanical upgrades, are all activities that fall under the category of 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. Therefore, the Project qualifies for
this exemption as it involves the continuation of the existing industrial use with minor
improvements.
Replacement or Reconstruction Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines § 15302) - This
exemption covers the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities
where the new structures will be located on the same site and have substantially the same
purpose and capacity as the structures replaced. The proposed paving and minor interior
remodeling constitute the replacement and upgrading of existing facilities without altering
their use or capacity. The improvements aim to enhance the functionality and safety of
the Property while maintaining its current use for storage and warehousing, ensuring that
the overall purpose and capacity remain unchanged.
Minor Alterations to Land Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines § 15304) - The new
fencing, landscaping, and paving are considered minor public or private alterations in the
condition of land, water, and/or vegetation which do not involve the removal of healthy,
mature, scenic trees. These activities are minimal in nature and involve changes that do
not significantly affect the topography or existing natural conditions of the Property. The
landscaping improvements, for instance, will enhance the visual appeal of the Property
without impacting any significant environmental resources.
Small Structures Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines § 15303) - The installation of
new security cameras and sensors, as well as minor electrical and mechanical upgrades,
falls under this exemption for new construction or conversion of small structures. These
improvements are small in scale and involve the addition of equipment that will enhance
the security and operational efficiency of the Property without introducing any substantial
environmental impacts. The minor electrical and mechanical upgrades are aimed at
improving the existing infrastructure without significant alterations to the Property.
Common Sense Exemption (State CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3)) – Further, this
exemption applies as it can be seen with certainty that the proposed activities have no
potential to result in significant environmental effects. The acquisition and intended use
of the Property for storage and warehouse purposes, along with the outlined rehabilitation
work, will not change the basic use of the Property or introduce any new significant
environmental impacts. The activities involved are straightforward improvements and
upgrades that do not expand the footprint or capacity of the existing facilities in a manner
that would create significant effects.
The acquisition and proposed rehabilitation work, including the expansion of the existing
corporate yard, are determined to be exempt from CEQA review based on the above
exemptions, ensuring that the Project has no significant environmental impacts.
Section 8. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective upon its
adoption.
