Notice of Exemption

Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15308
Reasons for Exemption
The recommended action is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines Section 15308 (actions by regulatory agencies for protection of the environment) because it is a regulatory action mandated by state law to identify and mitigate wildfire hazards, thereby protecting the environment and public safety. Adoption of the maps does not authorize physical development. Additionally, designation of Fire Hazard Severity Zones as identified and recommended by the State Fire Marshal is statutorily exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21080(b)(1) and CEQA Guidelines section 15268, as a ministerial action, required by Government Code section 51179 (a).
