' A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE SUCCESSOR AGENCY TO THE TEMECULA
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY APPROVING THE CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FISCAL YEARS 2016 -2020,
ADOPTING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 -16, ADOPTING THE
FISCAL YEAR 2015 -16 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 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
SARDA Resos 15 -02
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.

Improvement Program consistent with the General Plan in accordance with Government
Code Section 65401 of State Planning and Zoning Law.
