Document Description
The proposed project involves Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and facility accessibility upgrades to the existing Silveira Community Center, a City-owned facility located at 500 N. Main Street in Lakeport, California. The scope of work includes the renovation of two existing, non-compliant restrooms, including upgrades to plumbing, lighting, flooring, ventilation, and installation of ADA-compliant fixtures such as grab bars, lowered sinks and toilets, and wider doorways. Exterior improvements will include the removal of outdated concrete stairs, construction of new ADA-compliant ramps, replacement of sidewalk and curb ramps, and restriping of accessible parking spaces. All work will take place within the existing building footprint or adjacent paved and hardscaped areas, with no expansion of building area or disturbance to undeveloped land.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Sections 15301 and 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Class 1 (Section 15301) and Class 2 (Section 15302) categorical exemptions. The Class 1 exemption applies to minor alterations of existing public facilities involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that previously existing. The proposed interior restroom upgrades and exterior ADA access improvements (e.g., ramps, sidewalks, curb ramps, and parking lot restriping) are limited to the rehabilitation of existing facilities and hardscape areas. The project does not involve expansion of the building footprint or intensity of use. Additionally, the Class 2 exemption applies to the replacement or reconstruction of existing structures and facilities involving the same purpose and capacity. The work proposed—such as replacing non-compliant infrastructure with ADA-compliant features—constitutes rehabilitation and replacement consistent with the existing use as a community center. All work is confined to previously developed areas and will not impact sensitive environmental resources. Therefore, the project qualifies as exempt under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15302.
