Document Description
The Santa Monica Mountains Habitat Impact Fee Update, amends the Santa Monica Mountains Local Coastal Program (“LCP”) and Title 22 (Planning and Zoning) of the Los Angeles County Code. The LCP mandates that the existing Habitat Impact Fee be updated within five years of certification of the LCP. The Project revises the existing Habitat Impact Fee and fulfills that mandate.
The Project amends the two components of the LCP, the Santa Monica Mountains Land Use Plan and the Santa Monica Mountains Local Implementation Plan in Title 22, to replace the Existing Fee with the Updated Fee. The Project also amends Santa Monica Mountains North Area Community Standards District (“SMMNA CSD”), which has a reserved section for the Updated Fee.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15265
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA does not apply to activities and approvals pursuant to the California Coastal Act (commencing with Section 30000 of the Public Resources Code) by [any] local government, as defined in Section 30109 of the Public Resources Code, necessary for the preparation and adoption of a local coastal program.
The section shifts the burden of CEQA compliance from the local government, in this case Los Angeles County, to the California Coastal Commission. The Coastal Commission’s program of certifying local coastal programs and long-range land use development plans has been verified under Section 21080.5, Public Resources Code.
