Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Ministerial
Type, Section or Code
Sec. 21080(b)(1); 15268
Reasons for Exemption
Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), Section 15268, projects that are ministerial in nature are exempt from environmental review. A ministerial project involves a governmental decision where the public official's discretion is limited to applying fixed, objective standards, as exemplified by the issuance of a business license. The City of Long Beach has identified such projects in its regulations. In this instance, the project was processed as a ministerial action in accordance with Section 21.65 of the Long Beach Municipal Code, and therefore, was not subject to the environmental review requirements of CEQA.
