Document Description
The action at issue is the Program Year 51 (2025-2026) City of Los Angeles Action Plan (Action Plan), the purpose of which is to provide a concise summary of the actions, activities, and the specific federal and non-federal resources that may be used to address the priority needs and specific goals identified by the the City of Los Angeles’ five-year Consolidated Plan. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development regulations establish that a Consolidated Plan serves as a City planning document (comprehensive housing affordability strategy and community development plan) and supports its applications for funding. The Action Plan might result in money being made available for City projects for which CEQA review will be conducted as required before utilizing the funding. The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the Community Planning and Development formula block grant (entitlement) programs: Community Development Block Grant, HOME Investment Partnerships Program, Emergency Solutions Grants Program, and Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS. The Consolidated Plan requires the submission of ensuing Annual Action Plans.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
BASIS FOR EXEMPTION: CEQA Guideline sections (1) 15378(b)(4) (funding); (2) 15378(c) (CEQA only for an approval) &15353(a) (non-final action not an approval); and/or (3) 15061(b)(3) (common sense exemption).
Pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15378(b)(4), the Action Plan is not a project and not subject to CEQA as a funding mechanism or other fiscal activity that does not involve any commitment to a specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact to the environment. Pursuant to Guidelines 15378(b)(4) and 15353(a), the Action Plan is not a CEQA project because it does not commit the City to a definite course of action the City intends to carry out and, if applicable, CEQA will be complied with before any Action Plan funds are committed to a definite course of use. Also, if the Action Plan is a CEQA project, it is exempt from CEQA compliance pursuant to the common sense exemption at Guideline 15601(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that the Action Plan application for funding does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment.
