Ratification and Approval of Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement Sanderson Building, LLC, Department of Environmental Health (DEH), 800 South Sanderson Avenu

The County of Riverside has leased the facility located at 800 S. Sanderson Avenue, Hemet, California (Lease) since August 2016. On August 30, 2022 (M.O. 3.20), the Board of Supervisors (Board) approved the First Amendment to Lease, extending the lease term and revising the rental provisions. On July 30, 2024 (M.O. 3.31), the Board approved the Second Amendment to Lease, which further extended the lease term, revised the rental rate provisions, added an early termination option, and updated the notice provisions. The facility, occupied by the Department of Environmental Health (DEH), no longer fully meets the department's operational needs. As a result, DEH has initiated a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify and procure a replacement facility that better aligns with the department's operational objectives. Accordingly, DEH desires to temporarily extend the Lease for an additional two-year term through a Third Amendment to Lease (Third Amendment) to ensure continuity of operations while the County completes the solicitation process and secures a suitable replacement location. The Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement is identified as the proposed Project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The leased premise consists of approximately 13,482 square feet and the proposed Project is the letting of property involving existing facilities; no expansion of an existing use will occur. The operation of the facility will continue to provide public services for the Probation Department and will not result in an increase in the intensity of the use of the site. No additional direct or indirect physical environmental impacts are anticipated. Project Number: FM042310002900
