Document Description
The current owners of the Site desire to sell the Site to the Applicant/Lead Agency, and the Applicant/Lead Agency desires to purchase the Site. Applicant/Lead Agency has determined that it needs to construct a second high school to accommodate the existing and growing student population within the school district. After careful consideration of the Applicant/Lead Agency’s existing student population, future residential developments and planning areas, and projections of where the
greatest density of students would likely come from within the community, in addition to other considerations and location alternatives, the Applicant/Lead Agency has identified the Site as the most logical and compelling location for its second high school campus. The Site Beneficiaries are residents in the community, prospective students, teachers, and other school district employees.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15262
Reasons for Exemption
The acquisition of the Site is in anticipation of planning for the design and construction of the community's second high school campus. The Applicant/Lead Agency is not prepared to commence any construction or development, because following acquisition of the property, it will be preparing plans for the development of the Site, configuration and layout of the high school campus, and design and construction of the school facilities, including conducting feasibility and planning studies for consideration and possible future actions by the governing board. Environmental review will be conducted once the District has developed plans for the Site, and before governing board approval of a final site plan and layout.
Exempt Status

Type, Section or Code
California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed acquisition involves any activity that may have a significant effect on the environment. Applicant/Lead Agency is purchasing property and will not disturb the Site as a part of executing the purchase. Once a plan for the proposed high school layout and school facilities is developed, the Applicant/Lead Agency will comply with CEQA for any final facilities development at the Site.
