Document Description
To adopt an ordinance that would establish an encroachment permit process that includes specific terms that allows the Board to find permits issued pursuant to this process will not interfere with the District’s property rights. The ordinance would authorize the Director, Department of Public Works, of the County, or designee, acting on behalf of the District, to issue permits for the use of District property. Encroachments would be permitted as a type of license, meaning they will have to be removed, relocated, or modified at the owner’s expense if necessary to allow for District use of its property. The owners would also be required to provide defense and indemnity from any liability that may be incurred by the District as a result of the placement and maintenance of the encroachment on District property.

Preliminary Review Sec. G 15061 (b)(3)
Reasons for Exemption
Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines exempts from CEQA review those projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment”. The proposed activity is the adoption of an ordinance to designate signatory authority to County staff. The approval of the ordinance does not commit the County or Flood Control District to a particular project or guarantee that any funding for such a project will be sought or obtained. The proposed activity will not, accordingly, have any significant effect on the environment and is exempt from CEQA review by Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines.
