Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
Section 15276
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15276 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines provides that “CEQA does not apply to the development or adoption of a regional transportation improvement program or the State transportation improvement program.” The proposed action includes the adoption of a resolution to adopt the County of San Diego 2027 Transportation Improvement Program Ordinance and Expenditure Plan Local Street Improvement Program of Projects for Fiscal Years 2026-27 through 2030-31 (2027 Program). Upon Board of Supervisors approval, the resolution will be submitted to the San Diego Association of Governments for approval as part of the planned 2027 Program of Projects. The proposed action is, accordingly,
excluded from review by Section 15276 of the CEQA Guidelines because it relates to
the development or adoption of a regional transportation improvement program. CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) also exempts activities from CEQA review projects where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the activity may have a significant effect on the environment. While there are projects listed in the
TransNet Local Street Improvement Program and Regional Transportation Improvement Program for purposes of establishing funding eligibility, inclusion in these documents does not guarantee funds will be allocated or the projects completed. As such, the proposed action to establish TransNet and federal earmark eligibility is a mere funding or fiscal activity without a commitment to a specific project. As such, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed action will have a significant effect on the environment.
