Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
California Public Resources Code Statutoral Exemption Section 21080.20
Reasons for Exemption
The Active Transportation Plan is statutorily exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080.20. This section expressly states that the division pertaining to environmental quality in the Public Resources Code does not apply to active transportation plans that meet the definition set forth in the statute. Specifically, an exempt active transportation plan is defined as a plan developed by a local jurisdiction that promotes and encourages people to choose walking, bicycling, or rolling through the creation of comfortable, connected, and accessible walking, bicycling, or rolling networks, and encourages alternatives to single-occupancy vehicle trips. Because the purpose, goals, policies, objectives, and implementation strategies of the Active Transportation Plan meet this definition, the Plan is statutorily exempt from the requirements of CEQA.
Based on staff analysis, it can be seen with certainty that the adoption of the 2026 Active Transportation Plan will not have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, the project is statutorily exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 21080.20.
