City Council

A\nConsideration and possible action to adopt the Urban Forest Master Plan\n(“UFMP”) and provide the City Manager with direction regarding the City’s\nurban forest regulations.\nCEQA: The UFMP is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act\n(“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Here, the UFMP is\nintended to ameliorate the impacts of climate change and human activity upon the\nenvironment. It is plain, therefore, from any reasonable viewpoint that there is no\nsignificant impact upon the environment arising solely from adopting the UFMP.\nIndividual projects that implement the UFMP will be independently evaluated in\naccordance with CEQA.\nRecommendation to City Council: 1) Adopt the Urban Forest Master Plan; and\n2) Provide the City Manager with direction regarding the City’s urban forest\nregulations; or 3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
