Document Description
The project involves the replacement of the synthetic turf athletic field at Lucchesi Park, encompassing approximately 87,000 square feet. The scope of work includes removal and reconstruction of the existing perimeter drainage system, consisting of the installation of new perforated drainpipe, drain rock, and geotextile fabric within the trench lines and beneath the turf, as well as installation of a new drainage/shock pad layer and replacement of the existing synthetic turf system, including new infill materials. All turf materials, including synthetic turf, drainage/shock pad, and infill, will be procured through the California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) purchasing program. The project also includes Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements, such as the replacement of non-compliant pathway segments to achieve latest standards, installation of a new accessible drinking fountain, and resurfacing and striping of accessible parking stalls, including required signage. The project construction duration is approximately 120 working days. All construction activities and improvements will occur entirely within the existing developed field area of Lucchesi Park. No expansion of use or disturbance of previously undeveloped areas is proposed. On August 4, 2025, Petaluma City Council Adopted Resolution No. 2025-118 N.C.S. Authorizing the Purchase of Synthetic Turf Materials from Field Turf USA, Inc., through the California Multiple Award Schedules (CMAS) Program.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Existing Facilities, Section 15301; Replacement or Reconstruction, Section 15302
Reasons for Exemption
The project is categorically exempt pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and Title 14, the California Code of Regulations ("CEQA" Guidelines"), Sections 15301, Existing Facilities, and 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction, because the project consists of replacement and reconstruction of existing synthetic turf and drainage system, as well as accessibility improvements to existing facilities of the turf field at Lucchesi Park. There is negligible or no expansion of use beyond what currently exists and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual circumstances, or other factors that would make the exemption inapplicable. Therefore, this project is exempt under CEQA sections 15301, Existing Facilities, and 15302, Replacement or Reconstruction.
