A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TEMECULA
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVING THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FISCAL YEARS 2021-25,
ADOPTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020-21, ADOPTING THE
FISCAL YEAR 2020-21 ANNUAL OPERATING BUDGET
AND ESTABLISHING CONTROLS ON CHANGES IN
APPROPRIATIONS
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TEMECULA
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Adoption of this Program is categorically exempt from environmental
review under the California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA). Pursuant to Section 15262 of the
State Guidelines for Implementation of CEQA, a project involving only feasibility or planning
studies for possible future actions,which actions the Board of Directors has not approved,adopted,
or funded, does not require preparation of an EIR or Negative Declaration, but does require
consideration of environmental factors. In reviewing this Program and conducting public hearings
on it, the Board of Directors has considered relevant environmental factors. This Board of
Directors, as the lead agency for environmental review,pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act and the Guidelines promulgated there under(collectively"CEQA), has reviewed the
scope and nature of this Capital Improvement Program and has concluded that the planning and
prioritization process comprising this activity is not a project pursuant to CEQA because it does
not order or authorize the commencement of any physical or other activity that would directly or
indirectly have a significant effect upon the environment. The Capital Improvement Program
merely establishes a listing of priority and allocates funds for the City to commence the necessary
planning studies, including review pursuant to CEQA, at a future unspecified date. The future
planning studies will be conducted at the earliest possible time so as to ensure thorough review
pursuant to CEQA. Recognizing that the protection of the environment is a key factor in the quality
of life within the City of Temecula and to further the City's strict adherence to both the spirit and
letter of the law as regards to CEQA, this Board of Directors has also considered this Capital
Improvement Program as if it were a Project pursuant to CEQA. Reviewing this Program as an
Project,this Board of Directors concludes the Project would be exempt from review under CEQA,
both pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) and to the categorical exemption set forth in Section 15262
of CEQA. Section 15061(b)(3) would apply because it can be seen with certainty that this
prioritizing and fund allocation program cannot and does not have the potential to cause a
significant effect on the environment. No physical activity will occur until all required CEQA
review is conducted at the time the physical improvements prioritized in the Program are
undertaken. Section 15262 provides a categorical exemption to actions that are feasibility or
planning studies related to possible future actions. This Board is aware of and has considered the
current and relevant environmental factors as an integral component of the review of this Program.
C This Board, as lead agency, hereby determines and decides that the exemption provided in both
Sections 15061(b)(3) and 15262 apply in the event this is deemed a Project pursuant to CEQA.
