CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT:

The California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") is the state law that requires the City to evaluate and document the potential environmental consequences of discretionary decision. (See, California Public Resources Code Sections 21000 - 21189.3; and the "CEQA Guidelines" at California Code of Regulations Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3, Sections 15000 - 15387). For each item that requires a CEQA determination by City Council, there is a reference to that determination on this agenda, and more information regarding the CEQA analysis is included in the documents that accompany this Agenda. To the extent that City staff determines that particular items are not subject to CEQA, there will be no indication of a CEQA action on this Agenda.
