The Elk Grove Unified School District is proposing to acquire a 10-acre property within the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan area in the City of Elk Grove for the future development of an elementary school. This initiative supports long-term planning efforts to meet anticipated educational needs within the growing community.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3), CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, and PRC Section 21083.3
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed land acquisition by the District for a future elementary school is exempt from CEQA review because it does not involve any immediate development or physical alterations to the site and therefore has no potential for environmental impact at this stage. Additionally, the acquisition aligns with the City of Elk Grove’s General Plan and the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan, including applicable land use designations, zoning, and school siting criteria. The acquisition is consistent with a previously certified Environmental Impact Report for the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan, and no further review is required at this stage.
