Document Description
The Groveland Community Services District (CSD) proposes to install a new 18-hole disc golf course on district-owned land directly adjacent to Mary Laveroni Park in Groveland, California. The project site has previously undergone vegetation mastication under a separate CEQA review, and no additional vegetation removal is required. The course will include 18 disc golf baskets and corresponding tee boxes. Tee pads will be installed at each hole, with the final material yet to be determined, options include concrete (either above or below grade) or rubber mats framed with wood.
No trees, brush, or other vegetation will be removed as part of this project, as the property has already been cleared through a recent shaded fuel break initiative. The project will not include the construction of new restroom facilities. Visitors will use existing restrooms located at Mary Laveroni Park. Similarly, no new parking lot will be developed, as parking will be available at the park or at the Groveland CSD office. Based on usage patterns observed at similar disc golf courses in the region, the facility is expected to attract fewer than 10 visitors per day on average. This project is designed to enhance recreational opportunities for the community while maintaining environmental stewardship and minimizing infrastructure expansion.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Class 4 (Minor Alterations to Land) & Class 11 (Accessory Strcutures) Section 15304 and 15311
Reasons for Exemption
Under Class 4, which covers minor alterations to land, the project involves minimal ground disturbance and no removal of trees or vegetation. The site has already been cleared through a shaded fuel break under a separate CEQA document, and the only physical additions will be disc golf baskets and tee pads, which may be constructed using concrete or rubber mats with wood frames. These improvements are minor in nature and will not significantly alter the land’s existing condition. Additionally, the expected daily use, fewer than 10 visitors, indicates a low-intensity recreational activity with negligible environmental impact.
The project also meets the criteria for Class 11, which exempts the construction or placement of accessory structures within existing public facilities. The disc golf course will be located adjacent to Mary Laveroni Park and will utilize existing infrastructure, including restrooms and parking areas, without requiring new buildings or utilities. The baskets and tee pads are considered small-scale recreational fixtures that complement the park’s existing amenities. As such, the project enhances public recreational opportunities while remaining consistent with CEQA’s Class 11 exemption for accessory structures.
