Public hearing to consider the approval of the Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) Analysis Guidelines. Environmental Considerations: In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed VMT Analysis Guidelines are exempt from environmental review pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines since the action is not a "project" pursuant to Section 15378(b)(5). The action is an organizational or administrative activity of government that will not result in a direct or indirect physical change in the environment. If the action were deemed to be a "project," it would be exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) exempts activities covered under the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects where it can be seen with certainty that the project has no possibility for causing a significant effect on the environment. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15382, "Significant effect on the environment" means "a substantial, or potentially substantial, adverse change in any of the physical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance. An economic or social change by itself shall not be considered a significant effect on the environment. A social or economic change related to a physical change may be considered in determining whether the physical change is significant." Future projects subject to the newly adopted guidelines will require CEQA review.
