SARDA 2021-04 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TEMECULA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FISCAL YEARS 2022-26, ADOPTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-22, ADOPTING THE FISCAL YEAR 2021-22 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 City Council 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 City Council has considered relevant environmental factors. This City Council, as the C 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 ofpriority 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 City Council has also considered this Capital Improvement Program as if it were a Project pursuant to CEQA. Reviewing this Program as an Project, this City Council 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 Council is aware of and has considered the current and relevant environmental factors C as an integral component of the review of this Program. This Council, 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.
