Document Description
The Department of General Services, Real Estate Services Division proposes to accept the donation of an approximately 25-acre site on the north side of Knighton Road just east of Churn Creek in Redding, California. The land is being donated to the state by the City of Redding for a future state veterans' home. The land consists of vacant oak woodland designated under the area specific plan for public facilities consistent with a state veterans' home operation. The site is well-served by municipal utilities, access, and it contains no sensitive habitat. Planning and construction of a state veterans' home would be subject to a future environmental review process. This action only consists of a change in title between two public agencies. The land will be held in open space and/or passive uses until the state proceeds with siting of a new veterans' home.

Reasons for Exemption
The project consists of donation of a site planned for a veterans' home from a local public agency to a state agency. The property has been the subject of a previous environmental review process to adopt a specific plan designation for institutional/residential uses consistent with a veterans' home facility. The subject action consists only of a change in title and ownership between two public agencies; a project to plan and build a new state veterans' home would be subject to separate future environmental review process.
