Class 1 exemptions include the operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, <br />licensing, or minor alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical <br />equipment, or topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former <br />use. As a Districtwide special facility, the existing skate park will be replaced to meet current <br />industry and recreational standards to provide continued community use prior to disrepair.
