Unpermitted Maintenance Use and CEQA Exemption Dispute
Summary
Opponents say the district quietly converted the school to a maintenance yard around 2018 without ever getting city approval, then used that "existing use" to claim CEQA exemptions. A district CEQA consultant clarified the filed exemption was actually for new construction, not existing use — but the challenge window has closed.
