2. Find that the California Environmental quality Act does not apply.
G.C. Section 84308: No
Fiscal Impact:
Approximately $275.00 in signage. Sufficient funds are available in Fiscal Year 25-26 Maintenance Services Operating Budget, 214.42000.5795.
Background:
In late August of this year, the Department of Veterans Affairs opened a state-of-the-art outpatient medical facility at their current address of 44439 17 th Street West, Lancaster, California, 93534, providing essential healthcare and support services to Veterans throughout the region. The new facility represents a vital resource for the local Veteran population. By changing the street name from 17 th Street West to Veterans Way, it will highlight the importance of the services and contributions of our Veterans, and make it easier for patients and their families to locate the clinic and access care.
This is a major milestone for area Veterans, as the clinic is twice the size of the current facility and offers new and expanded services. It provides primary care, mental health, social work, and all other services available at the current clinic, including a dedicated women’s health clinic with separate entrance, audiology, optometry, dental care, and more. 2 1
