Reasons for Exemption
The City of San Diego conducted an environmental review and determined that pursuant to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) section 15273 - Rates, Tolls, Fares, and Charges, CEQA does not apply to the establishment, modification, structuring, restructuring, or approval of rates, tolls, fares, or other charges by public agencies that the public agency finds are for the purpose of meeting operating expenses, including employee wage rates and fringe benefits, purchasing or leasing supplies, equipment or materials, meeting financial reserve needs and requirements, or obtaining funds for capital projects, necessary to maintain service within existing service areas. As such, the action by the San Diego City Council is statutorily exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15273(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), and (a)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines. R-316088
