Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Sections 15303 and 15311, the proposed project is exempt from CEQA under the Class 3 and Class 11 categorical exemptions since the project involves the installation of new accessory structures that include targeted ground lighting to support a golf ball tracking system and ancillary lighting of the tee box area and putting green to extend the operating hours of the facility to 10:00 p.m. at an existing golf course driving range. The project includes no expansion of the existing building footprint or project site area.
