City Council

3-J. MONTEREY PASS COMPLETE STREET CONCEPT APPROVAL It is recommended that the City Council consider: (1) Approving the proposed concept for the Monterey Pass Complete Street Project; and (2) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. CEQA (California Environmental Quality Act): The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the proposed Ordinance pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). CEQA Guidelines §§ 15060(c)(2), 15061(b)(3), and 15378 exempt activities that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, activities where there is possibility that it may have a significant effect on the environment, and activities that do not constitute a “project” as defined, respectively. This activity contemplates approval of conceptual plans only. Subsequent improvements will be evaluated separately under CEQA. Accordingly, this activity is exempt from further review.
