12. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.; herein referred to as ("CEQA"), the State of
California Guidelines for Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (Title 14
of the California Code of Regulations; herein referred to as the "CEQA Guidelines"), and the
City's Local CEQA Procedure Manual, the City is the "lead agency" for the preparation and
consideration of environmental documents for the Proposed Project.
13. The City Council finds and determines that the effects of the Proposed Project are typical of those
generated within that class of projects (i.e., Class 3 — New Construction or Conversion of Small
Structures) which consist of the construction and location of limited numbers of new, small
facilities or structures, Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines provides examples of projects that
qualify for an exemption from the provisions of CEQA, one of which being the construction of
utility extensions including water, sewage, electric, storm drains and street improvements. Since
the Proposed Project consists of the proposed construction of a storm water infiltration/retention
facility, the Proposed Project will not cause a significant effect on the environment and is,
therefore, categorically exempt from the provisions of CEQA.
