NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, determined, and ordered by the City
Council of the City of San Jacinto, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. Recitals. The foregoing recitals are true and correct and are
incorporated herein by reference.
SECTION 2. Environmental Determination. Based upon the whole of the record
before it, the City Council finds that:
A. The CEDS is a policy and planning document that will not approve, finance, or
commit the City ot a specific physical project;
B. Adoption of the CEDS will not itself result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment;
C. Any future projects proposed to implement the CEDS will be subject to
independent review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as
applicable, before project approval; and
D. Adoption of the CEDS is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines
section 15061(b)(3), the common-sense exemption and 15262 – Feasibility
and Planning Studies, because it can be seen with certainty that adoption of
the CEDS itself will not have a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 3. Findings. Based upon the entire record, including the CEDS,
Planning Commission Resolution No. 26-02, the staff report, and all written and oral
evidence presented, the City Council finds that:
A. The CEDS is consistant with and implements the economic development
vision, goals, policies, and actions of the Envision San Jacinto 2040 General
Plan;
B. The CEDS provides a comprehensive, data-driven framework for business
retention and expansion, economic diversification, workforce development,
infrastructure readiness, Main Street revitalization, visito -serving development,
and fiscal sustainability;
C. Adoption of the CEDS establishes the City’s first formal economic development
strategy and enhances the City’s grant readiness by documenting local needs,
priorities, and implementation;
D. The evaluation framework and economic resilience components provide
appropraite tools for monitoring progress, responding to changing economic
conditions, and updating implementation priorities over time; and
E. Adoption of the CEDS will not amend a General Plan land-use designation,
development standard, or zoning regulation, and will not authorize any specific
physical projects or expenditure.
