No ground disturbance or construction is included or permitted within the land lease amendment.

Reasons for Exemption
State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) states an activity is covered by the common sense exemption where CEQA applies only to a project, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The discretionary action of authorizing this amendment to land lease agreement is a project; however the issuance of this land lease agreement would not pose the possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
