RESOLUTION NO. 26-XX

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLETA, CALIFORNIA, FINDING THE CITY HALL HVAC REPLACEMENT PROJECT (CIP NO. 9137)

CATEGORICALLY EXEMPT FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY ACT (CEQA) PURSUANT TO STATE CEQA GUIDELINES SECTIONS 15301 AND 15302.

WHEREAS, the Goleta City Hall, built in 1986, is located at 130 Cremona Dr., in the City of Goleta, Santa Barbara County, California and is in need of replacement of two (2) heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units; and

WHEREAS, the City Hall HVAC Replacement Project (CIP No. 9137) consists of replacement of the 40- year- old roof mounted HVAC system (two HVAC units) located at Goleta City Hall. The new HVAC units will reuse the same roof opening and will have a similar profile to the existing ones. Further, the new HVAC units will be all electric and will replace the previous gas-powered units with more efficient models; and

WHEREAS, the replacement HVAC units will serve substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing HVAC units by providing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning to the existing City Hall facility, and the Project will not increase the square footage, occupancy, or intensity of use of City Hall; and

WHEREAS, on May 21, 2024, the City Council awarded a Professional Design Services Agreement to RRM Design Group, in the no t-to-exceed amount of $ 270,000 to prepare plans, specifications, and estimates for the Project; and

WHEREAS, on September 16, 2025, the City Council authorized staff to advertise for construction bids for the Project; and

WHEREAS, in accordance with California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) (Pub.

Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.; 14 CCR §§ 15000 et seq.), the City , acting as CEQA lead agency, has determined that the awarding of the construction bid for the Project to Frank Schipper Construction Company is categorically exempt from CEQA review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Class 2 – Replacement or Reconstruction). The Project qualifies for the Class 1 exemption because it consists of th e repair of the HVAC system involving negligible or no expansion of existing use, and independently qualifies for the Class 2 exemption because it consists of the replacement of existing HVAC units on the same site, having substantially the same purpose an d capacity as the facilities being replaced; and

WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF GOLETA, AS FOLLOWS:

390
65266.00426\45286523.1
SECTION 1. Recitals. The City Council hereby finds and determines that the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct.

SECTION 2. CEQA Findings. The City Council finds, in light of the whole record, that the Project is categorically exempt from environmental review pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section s 15301 (Class 1 – Existing Facilities) and 15302 (Class 2 – Replacement or Reconstruction). The Project involves replacement of the 40- year- old roof mounted HVAC system (two HVAC units) located at Goleta City Hall. The new HVAC units will reuse the same roof opening and will have a similar profile to the existing ones. Further, the new HVAC units will be all electric and will replace the previous gas -powered units with more efficient mo dels. These activities constitute repair, maintenance, and minor alterations of the existing public structure that would not expand the existing use of Goleta City Hall but instead would continue to allow Goleta City Hall to serve the same overall purpose and would have negligible or no expansion of the existing use.

The Project qualifies for the Class 1 exemption , which includes examples such as interior or exterior alterations such as partitions, plumbing and electrical conveyances, and the restoration or rehabilitation of deteriorated or damaged areas to the building. (See State CEQA Guidelines, §15301(a), (d).) Here, the Project constitutes repair, maintenance, replacement, and minor alteration of existing mechanical equipment serving an existing public facility. The work will not expand the City Hall building, increase building square footage or occupancy, or materially increase the intensity of the HVAC units. Rather, the Project will replace aging mechanical equipment necessary to maintain and continue the existing operation and use of City Hall.

In the alternative, for the same reasons above, the Project also independently qualifies for the Class 2 exemption because it involves the replacement of two HVAC units on the same site, having substantially the same purpose and capacity as the equipment being replaced. (State CEQA Guidelines, §15302.)

In addition, none of the exceptions set forth in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15300.2 apply.

There is no possibility of a significant cumulative impact as there are no projects of the same type that will take place at the Project site or the surrounding area. The Project area does not present any unusual circumstances that might result in significant impacts because the Project is located within an existing public facility, which constitutes a disturbed location with limited environmental resources and conditions typical of this type of developed area, construction activities would be typical of those associated with accessibility , safety, and capital mainte nance improvements and the Project would not result in substantial changes to the facility’s baseline operations and maintenance. The Project would not damage any scenic resources, including trees, historic buildings, rock outcroppings or similar resources, within a highway officially designated as a state scenic highway . The nearest officially designated state scenic highway is Highway 154, and Project construction activities would not be visible from Highway 154 due to the distance from the Project site and intervening buildings and vegetation. The Project is not located on a hazardous waste site or any other site included on a list compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5 and the Project will not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a historic resource because there are no historic resources near the proposed Project such that Project impacts would not have any substantial adverse changes in the significance of a historic resource.

391
65266.00426\45286523.1
Thus, no further environmental review is required. The City Council hereby directs staff to prepare, execute, and file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk and the State Clearinghouse within five (5) working days of the Project’s approval and adoption of this Resolution.

SECTION 3. Action. The City Council hereby approves the Classes 1 and 2 categorical exemption findings for the Project and directs staff to file the Resolution.

SECTION 4. Reliance on Record. Each and every one of the recommendations in this Resolution is based on the competent and substantial evidence, both oral and written, contained in the entire record relating to the Project. The findings and determinations constitute the independent findings and determinations of the City Coun cil in all respects and are fully and completely supported by substantial evidence in the record as a whole.

SECTION 5 . The documents and materials associated with this Resolution that constitute the record of proceedings on which these findings are based are located at City Hall , 130 Cremona Drive Goleta, CA 93117. The Planning and Environmental Services Director is the custodian of the record of proceedings.

SECTION 6. Summaries of Information. All summaries of information in the findings, which precede this section, are based on the substantial evidence in the record. The absence of any fact from any such summary is not an indication that a particular finding is not based in part on that fact.

SECTION 7. This Resolution will remain effective until superseded by a subsequent resolution.

SECTION 8. The City Clerk shall certify to the passage and adoption of this resolution and enter it into the book of original resolutions.

PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this ___ day of ___________ 2026.
