WHEREAS, the California Legislature has amended the California Environmental
Quality Act ("CEQA") (Pub. Resources Code §§ 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA
Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, §§ 15000 et seq.) and the California courts have
interpreted specific provisions of CEQA;
WHEREAS, Section 21082 of CEQA requires all public agencies to adopt
objectives, criteria and procedures for the evaluation of public and private projects
undertaken or approved by such public agencies, and the preparation, if required, of
environmental impact reports and negative declarations in connection with that
evaluation; and
WHEREAS, the San Jacinto Redevelopment Agency ("RDA") must revise its
local guidelines for implementing CEQA to make them consistent with the current
provisions and interpretations of CEQA;
WHEREAS, the RDA has established a new threshold of significance for
analyzing greenhouse gas emissions and has included that threshold in its revisions to
its local guidelines for implementing CEQA;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE AGENCY BOARD:
SECTION 1. The RDA adopts "Local Guidelines for Implementing the California
Environmental Quality Act (2009 Revision)," a copy of which is on file at the offices of
the RDA and is available for inspection by the public.
SECTION 2. The RDA adopts a new threshold of significance stating that the
RDA's CEQA documents must discuss whether the proposed activity will result in
greenhouse gas emissions that would interfere with the State's ability to attain the
greenhouse gas reduction targets set forth in AB 32.
SECTION 3. All prior actions of the RDA enacting earlier guidelines are hereby
repealed.
