Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Adoption of Resolution repealing Resolution 25-200 and declaring APN 033-240-26 and 033-240-39 (Covelo Community Services District Office at 23950 Grange St in Covelo) to be “exempt surplus” land and finding that adoption of this Resolution is exempt from CEQA review based on State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378; and authorize Chair to sign same.

Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
On December 16, 2025, the Board adopted Resolution 25-200 to declare the Covelo Community Services District Office as exempt surplus land.
Summary of Request:
The Board has publicly discussed reducing the amount of real estate owned by the County. A first step in this process, governed by the Surplus Land Act (SLA), as amended, is taken with the Board’s adoption of this resolution, declaring excess parcels as “exempt surplus” and providing direction to staff. Under the SLA, surplus land is prioritized for affordable housing as well as parks and open space. Exempt surplus land is exempt from procedural requirements under the SLA due to it meeting criteria under Government Code section 54221(f)(1). Additional Board action would be needed to authorize staff to begin negotiations for the potential sale of this parcel, and to approve any sales agreement. APN 033-240-26 and 033-240-39 is the site of the Covelo Community Services District (CSD) at 23950 Grange St. in Covelo. The County allowed the CSD to occupy the site in 2019, and the CSD would like to own the site for their continued use. This site qualifies as exempt surplus under Government Code section 54221(f)(1)(D) (a “Local Agency to Agency Surplus Land Transfer”). Resolution 25-200, as adopted by the Board on December 16 was intended to declare this property as “exempt surplus” but it contained a clerical error. It is recommended the Board repeal Resolution 25-200 and adopt a new Resolution making this declaration. The resolution has been reviewed with respect to the applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) (“CEQA”) and it has been determined that the designation of this property as surplus does not have the potential for creating a significant effect on the environment and is therefore exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(3) because it is not a project as defined by CEQA Guidelines Section 15378. Adoption of this resolution does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. If and when a Property is sold to a purchaser, and that purchaser proposes a use for the Property, and such use requires a discretionary permit and CEQA review, that future use and project will be analyzed at the appropriate time in accordance with CEQA.
