Notice of Exemption

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
Adoption of the Ordinances amending the AMC is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15378 and Public Resources Code section 21065 because it does not: (1) approve a project or result in a direct physical impact on the environment, or (2) contemplate known future projects, and as such, no known environmental impacts are known at this time. Instead, the proposed amendments would clarify procedural aspects related to the implementation of locally adopted building and other related codes. As a separate and independent basis, adoption of the Ordinances amending the AMC is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
