Foothill College Tennis Courts Renovations CEQA Exemption

The Foothill De-Anza Community College District is undertaking a renovation project for the tennis courts at Foothill College located in Los Altos Hills, California. The scope of work includes resurfacing the existing tennis courts and installing new lighting and pickleball lines to increase court capacity and provide additional sporting options on campus. The project will not alter the size of the courts or impact student enrollment, and the facilities will remain accessible to the public. The project is classified as a forecast under NAICS code 237990 and has been determined to be categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15301 and 15314, as it involves existing facilities and minor additions to a school with no significant environmental impact. Key project personnel include David Fisch, Director of the Capital Construction Program, and Welianto Liu as Project Manager. Environmental considerations include noise mitigation measures for developments adjacent to Interstate 280, Arastradero Road, or Foothill Expressway, utilizing strategies such as site planning, landscaped berms, and sound-proofing to minimize traffic noise impacts.
