Appendix A of the TIF Nexus Study.
C. The City Council has considered the specific public facilities and cost
estimates identified in Appendix A of the TIF Nexus Study, and hereby approves such
public facilities and cost estimates and further finds that the cost estimates serve as a
reasonable basis for calculating and imposing the development impact fees for such
public facilities.

cause a significant effect on the environment, is not defined as a "project" under CEQA.
