A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE
SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TEMECULA REDEVELOPMENT
AGENCY APPROVING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014-18 AND
ADOPTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2013-14
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 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 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 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.
