Document Description
The subject surplus property consists of approximate 0.75 acre parcel of land, which is currently improved with two (2) freestanding single- family homes and one (1) four car garage, along with approximately a ¼ acre of excess land. The property is located at 4451 Glen Street, Jurupa Valley, Riverside County, California, and is also referred to as APN 169-130-037 (Property).
The Property was Declared Surplus Property on September 22, 2025 (M.O. #3.22). In accordance with Government Code Section 54222. The State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) determined that the County had met all requirements under the Surplus Land Act for that purpose of disposing of the surplus property.
On April 28, 2026 (M.O. # 21.1), the Board of Supervisors, in compliance with Government Code Sections 25520 et seq. and the Surplus Land Act, opened the public hearing, reviewed, and accepted the highest oral bid in the amount of $820,000 and adopted Resolution No. 2026-057. As of May 5, 2026, the bidder rescinded their offer to purchase the Property.
On June 24, 2026, Armando and Jose Pascual, as co-owners (Buyer), submitted a proposal to purchase the Property for the bid amount of $620,000. Staff recommends approval of the attached Offer and Agreement to Purchase the Property. The sale of the property is identified as the proposed project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The project is limited to the sale of property and does not allow for any construction activity, change in use, or any other condition that may lead to a direct or indirect physical environmental impact at this time. Any future activity or project at the location would require additional CEQA review for any changes to the property.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15301
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA specifically by the State CEQA Guidelines as identified below. The project will not result in any specific or general exceptions to the use of the categorical exemption as detailed under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. The project will not cause an impact to an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern nor would the project involve unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project would not result in impacts to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, historic resources, or other sensitive natural environments, or have a cumulative effect to the environment. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated to occur with the sale of the Property.
This categorical exemption includes the operation, repair, maintenance, leasing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures or facilities, provided the exemption only involves negligible or no expansion of the previous site’s use. The project is the is the proposed sale of real property that is no longer needed for the use by the County and has been declared surplus property. The sale of the property would not result in any change in use and would not increase or expand the use of the site; therefore, the project is exempt as the project meets the scope and intent of the Class 1 Exemption identified in Section 15301, Article 19, Categorical Exemptions of the CEQA Guidelines.
Therefore, the County of Riverside Facilities Management hereby concludes that no physical environmental impacts are anticipated to occur and the project as proposed is exempt under CEQA. No further environmental analysis is warranted.

Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA specifically by the State CEQA Guidelines as identified below. The project will not result in any specific or general exceptions to the use of the categorical exemption as detailed under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2. The project will not cause an impact to an environmental resource of hazardous or critical concern nor would the project involve unusual circumstances that could potentially have a significant effect on the environment. The project would not result in impacts to scenic highways, hazardous waste sites, historic resources, or other sensitive natural environments, or have a cumulative effect to the environment. No significant environmental impacts are anticipated to occur with the sale of the Property.
In accordance with CEQA, the use of the Common Sense Exemption is based on the “general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.” State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15061(b) (3). The use of this exemption is appropriate if “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Ibid. This determination is an issue of fact and if sufficient evidence exists in the record that the activity cannot have a significant effect on the environment, then the exemption applies and no further evaluation under CEQA is required. See No Oil, Inc. v. City of Los Angeles (1974) 13 Cal. 3d 68. The ruling in this case stated that if a project falls within a category exempt by administrative regulation or 'it can be seen with certainty that the activity in question will not have a significant effect on the environment', no further agency evaluation is required. With certainty, there is no possibility that the Project may have a significant effect on the environment. The proposed sale of the Property is an administrative function and would not result in any direct physical environmental impacts. The primary indirect impact of the sale would result in a different occupant owning the Property. It is not anticipated that any change in use or substantial increase in capacity would occur from the sale. Should any future physical changes in use be contemplated by the new owner, additional CEQA review would be required, and the potential environmental effects would be analyzed as part of future discretionary action. Therefore, in no way, would the Project as proposed have the potential to cause a significant environmental impact and the Project is exempt from further CEQA analysis.
Therefore, the County of Riverside Facilities Management hereby concludes that no physical environmental impacts are anticipated to occur and the project as proposed is exempt under CEQA. No further environmental analysis is warranted.
