Removal of potential overflow parking for special events and parking area from the Double Peak School

The proposed project includes the removal of potential overflow parking for special events and the parking area from the Double Peak School (“School”). In or around October 2013, the District’s Governing Board (“Board”) approved a Final Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), which discussed the construction of the School (at that time called the Proposed San Marcos K-8 School Project). The EIR for the School contemplated the potential future construction of certain overflow parking: “An unpaved parking lot with a capacity of 90 parking spaces will be provided to the east of the staff lot and access will be controlled with a gate that will be closed most of the time. This parking lot will be used only for overflow parking during special events” (“Overflow Parking”). The Overflow Parking was to be constructed on a parcel of land located at 700 Attebury Drive, San Marcos, California 92078, and identified as San Diego County Assessor’s Parcel No. 222-121-04 (“Pearson Property”). The District does not presently own the Pearson Property, but, on or about May 12, 2014, the District entered into an Agreement for Grant of Easement and Option to Purchase Real Property regarding the Pearson Property (“Option Agreement”). The Option Agreement provided the District with an easement allowing for the construction of the School’s staff parking lot and granted the District with an option to purchase the entire Pearson Property upon the occurrence of certain events. In or around 2015, the District completed construction of the School. The District has never constructed the Overflow Parking and the District has determined that it has not needed and will not need Overflow Parking for the School. This Notice of Exemption declares that the removal of the Overflow Parking, and area for such parking from the School is exempt from CEQA.
