Turf Care Maintenance Facility

The City of Laguna Niguel is overseeing the Turf Care Maintenance Facility project located at 23700 Clubhouse Drive, Laguna Niguel, California. The project involves the replacement of the existing turf care facility at the El Niguel Country Club within its current 1.5-acre footprint, with no expansion proposed. The scope of work includes replacing the operations building and storage building, both of which are 3,500 square feet with associated covered storage areas, as well as a pump station and building. The new structures will maintain substantially the same purpose and capacity as the existing facilities used for the storage and maintenance of landscaping equipment. The project has been granted approval through Site Development Permit Amendment SP96-37A01, a decision upheld by the City Council via Resolution No. 2025-1518. Under the California Environmental Quality Act, the project qualified for categorical exemptions under CEQA Guidelines Sections 15302(b) and 15304, as it consists of the replacement of existing structures and minor alterations to land and vegetation. Formal notices of exemption were filed in October and December 2025, with the City of Laguna Niguel serving as the lead approving agency.
