Agenda Item I
8I. Approve the Design for the FY 2026-27 Drainage Rehabilitation Project
(CD27A) and Lake Drive Storm Drain Lining Project (CD27B) and Authorize
Advertisement for Construction. Environmental Considerations: Pursuant to
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Environmental Initial
Study (IS) was conducted for the Lake Drive Storm Drain Project, which
determined that the proposed project may have potentially significant
environmental effects related to biological resources, geology and soils,
cultural resources, and tribal cultural resources. Specific mitigation measures
were determined to avoid or mitigate the potential significant environmental
impacts to below established levels of significance. A Mitigated Negative
Declaration (MND) and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP)
was prepared and adopted by the Planning Commission (PC Resolution No.
2026-15). A Notice of Determination was filed with the State Clearing House
(SCH#2025110169) and County Clerk Office (2026-000567). All mitigation
measures applicable to the Lake Drive Storm Drain Lining Project will be
implemented. The FY 2026-27 Drainage Rehabilitation Project is
Categorically Exempt (CE) from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15302 (c) of the CEQA Guidelines. This section
exempts the replacement and reconstruction of existing facilities that will
substantially have the same purpose and capacity as the structure being
replaced. None of the exceptions in Section 15300.2 of the CEQA Guidelines
are applicable to the project. Contact Person: Engineer I Esteller
