Reasons for Exemption
The proposed lease would add new small mechanical equipment, including a battery energy storage system (BESS) to an existing public facility (South Bay Regional Center) that would involve negligible expansion of the existing use on-site. Improvements would be limited to an approximately 620 square-foot area, to be fenced, within an existing disturbed parking lot. Minor trenching and back-fill would be required to install the necessary conduit and utility connections between the BESS, existing PV equipment and the Central Plant.
