3 2.4 Adopt a Resolution of Intent to Abandon a Portion of a Public Easement Adjacent to 250 Redwood Road in San Anselmo. The proposed project is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under CEQA Guidelines section 15305, as the proposed right-of-way abandonment consists of the minor alteration in land use limitations, which does not result in any changes in land use or density.

Making appointments to serve on a committee is not a “project” under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it does not involve an activity that has the potential to cause a direct or reasonably foreseeable physical change in the environment.
