AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF A NOTICE OF EXEMPTION UPON
APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Anaheim, California (the "City Council") did
duly pass and adopt Ordinance No. 4463 on November 29, 1983, and did thereby adopt and approve
the Redevelopment Plan for the River Valley Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Plan");
and
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Plan was amended by the City Council by Ordinance No.
5091, duly adopted on January 23, 1990, which revised certain land use alternatives within the
Redevelopment Plan, and by Ordinance No. 5467, duly adopted on December 13, 1994, which
revised certain time limitations within the Redevelopment Plan in order to comply with certain
amendments to the Community Redevelopment Law, California Health and Safety Code sections
33000 et seq. (the "Community Redevelopment Law"); and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") is considering the
adoption of a proposed amendment ("Amendment No. 3") to the Redevelopment Plan and has
prepared a proposed Amendment No. 3 therefore; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the proposed Amendment No. 3 is to revise certain portions of
the Redevelopment Plan to ensure that the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan comply with the
City's General Plan as required by Section 33331 of the Community Redevelopment Law; and
WHEREAS, Section 21166 of CEQA provides that, where an environmental impact report
has been prepared for a project, as was the case with the adoption of the original Redevelopment
Plan, no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is required unless major revisions
of the original EIR are required because substantial changes are proposed in the project; substantial
changes occur in the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken; or new information,
not known at the time of the original EIR certification, becomes available; and
WHEREAS, Section 15061 of the Guidelines for CEQA, Title 14, California Code of
Regulations, Sections 15000, et seq. (the "CEQA Guidelines"), provides that after a preliminary
review a public agency may determine that a project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA if the
project has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; after determining that a
project is exempt, the agency may prepare a notice of exemption which may be filed with the county
clerk after the project is approved; and
WHEREAS, a Preliminary Review of Environmental Impacts was prepared in connection
with Amendment No. 3 pursuant to which it was determined that Amendment No. 3 has no potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, the Preliminary Review of Environmental Impacts prepared in connection with
Amendment No. 3 are included in the Report to the City Council of the City of Anaheim on
Amendment No. 3 to the Redevelopment Plan for the River Valley Redevelopment Project which

Redevelopment Law, transmitted to the City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Anaheim as
follows:
Section 1. The City Council having reviewed the Preliminary Review of Environmental
Impacts prepared in connection with Amendment No. 3 hereby finds and determines that
Amendment No. 3 to the Redevelopment Plan for the River Valley Redevelopment Project is exempt
from further environmental review pursuant to Section 21166 of CEQA because the revisions to the
Redevelopment Plan encompassed in Amendment No. 3 do not constitute substantial changes, nor
have the circumstances under which the Redevelopment Plan is to be implemented changed
substantially, and there is no new information available beyond that known at the time of
certification of the original EIR.
Section 2. The City Council, having reviewed the Preliminary Review of Environmental
Impacts prepared in connection with Amendment No. 3 further finds and determines that the
adoption of Amendment No. 3 has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment
and is therefore exempt from further environmental review pursuant to Section 15061 of the CEQA
Guidelines.
Section 3. The City Clerk is hereby authorized to prepare and file a Notice of Exemption
with the Clerk for the County of Orange upon approval of Amendment No. 3 by the City Council.
