Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Categorical Exemption(s). Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), and Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Stud
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the CEQA Guidelines pursuant to the Provisions of Title 14 of the California Administrative Code, Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), and Section 15262 (Feasibility and Planning Studies) each on a separate and independent basis. The MJHMP identifies hazard risk and offers a mitigation strategy of possible future actions the County and planning partners may take to reduce hazard risk depending on funding and staffing availability. The plan is intended to help inform the County and its planning partners in future decisions about mitigation. Adoption of the MJHMP is exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15262 because adoption of the MJHMP is not a commitment to any mitigation action, and is not a decision to approve, adopt, or fund any of the potential mitigation actions identified. Environmental factors were considered in preparation and are considered throughout the document. For similar reasons, adoption of the MJHMP is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to the common sense exemption, because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that adoption of the MJHMP may have a significant effect on the environment. Some of the mitigation actions may be implemented through regulatory mechanisms and some through education programs, interagency coordination, or public participation. The County of Sonoma may not be the lead agency for the actions that constitute a project subject to CEQA.
No exceptions listed under Section 15300.2 apply. There is no reasonable possibility that the project would have a significant effect on the environment.
