RECOMMENDED ACTION: 1. That the City Council find this project does not require additional review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) states, in part, that a project is exempt from CEQA if “the activity is covered by the commonsense exemption that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where 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 activity is not subject to CEQA.” The Project is exempt under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) common sense exemption, because the Project involves policies, programs, and actions to meet State law specific to General Plan safety elements and would not result in any direct or indirect physical changes to the environment. The Project is an update to an existing policy document to comply with new laws and reinforce existing policy direction. Implementation of the Public Safety Element update would not have a significant effect on the environment.

THE CITY OF LAKE FOREST, CALIFORNIA, ADOPTING THE UPDATE TO
