Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15232
Reasons for Exemption
In accordance with Article 18 (Statutory Exemptions) of the State Guidelines for the Implementation of CEQA, the adoption of the Strategic Energy / 100% Renewable Electricity Plan is not a legally binding activity and is, therefore, exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines§ 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies),
which states:
A project involving only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the agency, board, or commission has not approved, adopted, or funded does not require the preparation of an EIR or Negative Declaration but does require consideration of environmental factors. This section does not apply to the adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities.
