' A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE TEMECULA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE
CITY OF TEMECULA APPROVING THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FY 2009-13 AND ADOPTING
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR FY 2008-09
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE TEMECULA REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY OF THE CITY OF TEMECULA 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
Agency Board 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 Agency Board has
considered relevant environmental factors. This Agency Board, as the lead agency for
environmental review, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act and the
Guidelines promulgated thereunder (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 Agency Board has also considered this Capital
Improvement Program as if it were a Project pursuant to CEQA. Reviewing this
Program as an Project, this Agency Board 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 Agency Board is aware of and has considered
the current and relevant environmental factors as an integral component of the review of
this Program. This Agency 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.
