Contingent upon the award of said Grant, the annual budget of the City of Anaheim is hereby amended by increasing revenue and expenditures in an amount equal to the amount of the Grant Funds awarded. 12. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code Section 2100 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 the 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 consists 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.
