Reasons for Exemption
The acquisition by itself is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; where it can be seen that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environmental, the activity is not subject to CEQA. Transfer of property ownership does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
