Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15252 (Feasibility and Planning Studies)
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA Guidelines Section 15262 (feasibility and planning studies) and Section 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption), 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 but 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. Adoption of the MJHMP is also exempt from CEQA pursuant to the commonsense 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.
