Document Description
The San Bernardino County Preschool Services Department proposes to acquire a two-story office building and associated infrastructure such as paved parking, landscaping, and utility connections. The purpose of the acquisition is to provide a permanent facility for the San Bernardino County Preschool Services Department to consolidate administrative operations and deliver early childhood development services in a centralized location. The existing structure, constructed in 2008, is approximately 39,600 square feet in size and designed for professional office use. The building currently accommodates general office tenants. and the proposed future use will maintain similar intensity and functionality. Any alterations to the facility will be limited to interior improvements such as office reconfiguration, security enhancements. accessibility upgrades, or the addition of classroomstyle spaces for early education activities. These modifications are anticipated to be minor in scope and will not involve expansion of the building footprint or substantial changes to building systems. The project is not expected to result in any significant changes to traffic patterns, utility demand, noise levels, or other environmental factors. The property is already connected to municipal water, sewer, and electrical services, and is compliant with local development and zoning standards. No grading, exterior construction, or disturbance of native soils is planned, and no significant environmental impacts are anticipated as a result of this action. The project qualifies for categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as the acquisition and use of an existing facility involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use.
