Environmental Considerations: The recommended action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a "project" under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA Guidelines. The action involves an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in the direct or indirect physical change in the environment. The current Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) prepared and adopted for the OBFP included the Cities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Coronado, and Imperial Beach in April 2008 (SCH No. 2008021048), and the City adopted a Final Mitigated Negative Declaration to amend the City of Encinitas OBFP in February 2014 (SCH No. 2013111057).
