lessen an emergency including maintenance, repair,
restoration, demolition or replacement of property or
facilities.

reflect categories" or classes" of activities which
will not have a significant adverse effect on the

population to drop below self substaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate Important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the poten-
tial to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? A short-term impact
on the environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while
long-term impacts will endure
wen into the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?
A project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively
small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the
environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environ-
mental effects which will cause
susbtantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly
or indirectly?

SECTION 8.000 Projects Exempt from Environmental Review and Notice of
Exemption. A Notice of Exemption is a brief notice which may
be filed when a public agency has determined that the project
is exempt from CEQA requirements. This exemption occurs
when the project is ministerial, categorically exempt, or an
emergency project.
A. Ministerial Projects. Activities for which the discretion
of the public agency is limited and generally preclude
the opportunity for denial or the setting of conditions

1). Temporary occupancy permits.
2). Approval of minor variances.
3). Issuance of grading permits.
B. Emergency Projects. Activities undertaken to prevent or
lessen an emergency including maintenance, repair,
restoration, demolition or replacement of property or
facilities.

CEQA based on the generic character of the activity
reflect categories" or classes" of activities which
will not have a significant adverse effect on the
environment. Presently there are 20 classes of projects
which are categorically exempt from CEQA and for which
Notices of Exemption may be filed:
Class 1 Operation, repair and maintenance of existing
facilities.
Class 2 Replacement or reconstruction of existing
facilities.
Class 3 New construction of snail structures.

substantially reduce the habitat of a fish
or wildlife species, cause a fish or wildlife
population to drop below self substaining
levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or
animal community, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered
plant or animal or eliminate Important
examples of the major periods of California
history or prehistory?
b. Does the project have the poten-
tial to achieve short-term, to the
disadvantage of long-term, environ-
mental goals? A short-term impact
on the environment is one which
occurs in a relatively brief,
definitive period of time while
long-term impacts will endure
welT into the future.)
c. Does the project have impacts
which are individually limited,
but cumulatively considerable?
A project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively
small, but where the effect of the
total of those impacts on the
environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environ-
mental effects which will cause
susbtantial adverse effects on
human beings, either directly
or indirectly?

AGENDA STUDY MATERIAL
FEBRUARY 17, 1977
TO: Acting City Manager
FROM: Planning Director
SUBJECT: ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1977
SYNOPSIS
Attached are updated Environmental Guidelines consistent with CEQA and
State Guidelines.
The California Environmental Quality Act has been changed considerably.
The overall effect is:
1. To make preparation of Environmental Impact Reports easier,
2. To assure coordination of environmental review during the planning
stages of a project.
3. To require more information in terms of initial study prior to
determining whether a project will require an environmental impact
report, a negative declaration, or is categorically exempt.
These guidelines which include the assessment forms have been revised
to conform to changes in CEQA.
The City Attorney has reviewed these Environmental Guidelines. His
recommended changes have been included.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Department recommends that the City Council adopt these
guidelines by resolution.
