2. The FY 21-22 CDBG and BMR AHF recommended grant funding
allocations will be decreased/increased based on final budget allocations
by HUD and the City Council.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that this Resolution is not a project under the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act, together with related
State CEQA Guidelines (collectively, "CEQA") because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change in the environment. In the event that this Resolution
is found to be a project under CEQA, it is subject to the CEQA exemption
contained in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with
certainty to have no possibility that the action approved may have a significant
effect on the environment. CEQA applies only to actions which have the potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a
significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. In this
circumstance, the proposed action (FY 21-22 funding allocations) would have no
or only a de minimis effect on the environment because it has no potential for
resulting in physical change in the environment. The foregoing determination is
made by the City Council in its independent judgment.
