City Council
12D. Pilot Native Plant Incentive Program. Environmental Considerations: The
action being considered by the City Council is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA
Guidelines because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility
that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.
The action is also exempt from CEQA under Section 15378(b)(5) of the CEQA
Guidelines because it involves an organizational or administrative activity of
government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the
environment. Contact Person: Senior Planner Cadona
Recommended Action: Receive and file a report regarding the pilot native
plant incentive program and authorize staff to implement a one-year pilot
program during Fiscal Year 2026/2027 to purchase southern California native
plants and distribute to community members participating at two city-
sponsored events.
