Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
General Rule [Sec. 15061(b)(3)]
Reasons for Exemption
Government Code Section 65401 mandates that each fiscal year, the Planning Commission review a list of all potential City Public Works Capital Improvements Program for conformity with the adopted General Plan. The review is not an approval of the individual actions within the Program, it is only a determination that the Program conforms with the City’s General Plan. The individual actions described in the Program are speculative and the determination of conformance does not commit funding to any specific project. Therefore, the proposed action is not a “Project” as defined in Section 15378 CEQA Guidelines, which states that:
“Project does not include: (4) The creation of government funding mechanisms or other government fiscal activities which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.”
Therefore, it has been determined that the finding of conformance with the City’s General Plan is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to the General Rule [Section 15061(b)(3)] of the State CEQA Guidelines which states that “CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant physical effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant physical effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA.”
