Document Description
On June 4, 2024, Item 3.3, the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved First District use of Community Improvement Designation Funds (CID) to be allocated to Riverside County Facilities Management. The Lakeland Village Community Center is located within the Lakeland Village area, just west of the City of Lake Elsinore. The scope of the project will include but not be limited to overlaying of the existing single ply roof with a new single ply roof system for buildings A, C and D.
Facilities Management recommends that the Board approve the Lakeland Village Community Center Roof Project with a preliminary project budget in the not to exceed amount of $465,000. FM will pursue the most cost-effective project delivery method and award in accordance with applicable Board policies. The replacement of the roofs on buildings A, C, and D at the Lakeland Village Community Center is defined as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The operation of the facility will continue to provide public services at the existing facility and will not result in a significant expansion of existing use. No additional direct or indirect physical environmental impacts are anticipated.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15301 Class 1 Existing Facilities
Reasons for Exemption
This Class 1 categorical exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, provided the exemption only involves negligible or no expansion of the previous site’s use. The replacement of the roofs are needed to restore and maintain an appropriate level of public safety. The facility provides public services, and the repairs to the existing roofs to protect and maintain public services are exempt as they are routine maintenance facilities and meet the scope and intent of the Categorical Exemption identified in Section 15301, Article 19, Categorical Exemptions of the CEQA Guidelines.
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
Section 15061 (b)(3) Common Sense
Reasons for Exemption
In accordance with CEQA, the use of the Common Sense Exemption is based on the “general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.” State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b) (3). The use of this exemption is appropriate if “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Ibid. This determination is an issue of fact and if sufficient evidence exists in the record that the activity cannot have a significant effect on the environment, then the exemption applies and no further evaluation under CEQA is required. See No Oil, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (1974) 13 Cal. 3d 68. The ruling in this case stated that if a project falls within a category exempt by administrative regulation or 'it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment', no further agency evaluation is required. With certainty, there is no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment. The replacement of the roofs at the Lakeland Village Community Center is a maintenance activity to existing buildings and will not result in any direct or indirect physical environmental impacts.
