Reasons for Exemption
State CEQA Guidelines §15061(b)(3) (Review for Exemption) states an activity is covered by the common sense exemption where CEQA applies only to a project, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. The discretionary action of authorizing this amendment to land lease agreement is a project; however, the issuance of this land lease agreement would not pose the possibility of a significant effect on the environment.
