Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15061(b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
The activity consists only of modifying AOB development fees for qualifying
housing developments through an ordinance. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061 (b)(3) provides that a project is
exempt when it is covered by the general rule that CEQA only applies to projects which have the potential for
causing a significant effect on the environment. No specific project is approved with this ordinance, and any
future housing development projects would each be separately reviewed under their own subsequent CEQA
analysis. Therefore, it can be seen with certainty there is no possibility that the proposed activity may have a
significant effect on the environment pursuant to Article 5, Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
