Memorandum
To: Public Agency Clients (City)
FROM: Best Best&Krieger LLP
DATE: March 7, 2013
RE: 2013 Summary of Changes to Local CEQA Guidelines
Important changes in the law have been incorporated into the 2013 Update to your Local
Guidelines for Implementing the California Environmental Quality Act ("Local Guidelines").
For easy reproduction and access to these Local Guidelines, as well as the California
Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") forms your city will need, and other important legal
alerts, please access BBK's CEQA client portal at www.bbklaw.nedCEOA. For technical
support please contact Gar House at Gar.House(�n,bbklaw.com.
Public agencies are required to adopt implementing procedures for administering their
responsibilities under CEQA. These procedures include provisions governing how the city will
process environmental documents and provide for adequate comment, time periods for review,
and lists of permits that are ministerial actions and projects that are considered categorically
exempt. City procedures should be updated within 120 days after the State CEQA Guidelines
are revised.
This memorandum summarizes the substantive amendments to your Local Guidelines
made in response to regulations, legislation and legal cases that changed or impacted certain
aspects of CEQA between January 2012 and February 2013. Your Local Guidelines and this
memorandum are designed to assist in assessing the environmental implications of a project prior
to its approval, as mandated by CEQA. We still recommend, however, that you consult with an
attorney when you have specific questions on major, controversial or unusual projects or
activities.
Revisions to Local CEOA Guidelines.
l. SECTION 311 PIPELINES WITAIN A PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY
Pursuant to AB 2564, Public Resources Code section 21080.21, which exempts certain
pipeline projects from the requirements of CEQA, is amended to exempt both subsurface and
surface facilities, accessories, or appurtenances to a pipeline. Previously, the exemption applied
only to subsurface pipeline facilities and subsurface pipelines. Therefore, this section of the
Local Guidelines has been amended to reflect that surface facilities, accessories, and
appurtenances to a pipeline are now also exempt. Please note that surface pipelines, themselves,
are not included in the exemption.
2. SECTION 316 ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
This section was added in response to AB 890,which adds section 21080.37 to the Public
Resources Code. The newly added Public Resources Code section 21080.37 exempts certain
- 1 -
93939.00005\7853682.1
roadway improvement projects involving the repair, maintenance, or minor alteration of an
existing roadway from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA")
until January 1, 2016. "Roadway"is defined in Section 10.61 of the Local Guidelines.
These projects must meet certain requirements for the exemption to apply, as set forth in
this section of the Local Guidelines,including: the project must be carried out by a city or county
for the purpose of improving public safety; the city or county must have a population of 100,000
persons or less; the roadway must not be a state roadway; the project must not cross a waterway
or involve riparian or wetland habitat; and the project also must not impact cultural or scenic
resources.
Further, in order for the exemption in Public Resources Code, section 21080.37 to apply,
the public agency approving or carrying out the project must hold a noticed public hearing to
receive comments on the project, and must file notice of the exemption with the Office of
Planning and Research and the counry clerk. This public hearing requirement is unique to this
new exemption.
3. SECTION 3.17 CERTAIN INFILL PROJECTS
This new section is in response to SB 226, which adds section 15183.3 to the State
CEQA Guidelines and is intended to expedite the environmental review process for infill
projects that provide environmental benefits. The environmental effects of such projects will not
require additional review if(1) the effects were addressed as significant in a prior environmental
impact report for a planning level decision, unless a listed exception applies, or (2) even if the
effects were not analyzed in the prior environmental impact report or are more significant than
previously analyzed, further analysis will not be required if uniformly applicable development
policies or standards apply to the infill project and would substantially mitigate the effects.
Depending on the extent to which the effects are covered by a prior environmental impact report
and the availability of applicable policies or standards, streamlining for eligible infill projects
will range from complete exemption to more narrow,project-specific environmental review.
To be eligible, an infill project must be located on an urban site that has been developed
or is sunounded at least seventy-five percent by immediately adjacent urban uses, or is separated
from such urban uses by a public right-of-way. The project must also satisfy certain statewide
performance standards and must be consistent with the policies of an applicable sustainable
communities strategy or alternative planning strategy. In addition, the project must meet the
development standards set forth in new State CEQA Guidelines Appendix M (Local CEQA
Guidelines Form R). To determine whether the project meets the requirements for this
streamlined review, the lead agency must utilize yet another checklist, which is found in new
State CEQA Guidelines Appendix N(Local CEQA Guidelines Form S).
Where the lead agency determines the infill project will not cause any new specific
effects or more significant effects, or uniformly applicable policies or standards will mitigate
such effects, the project is exempt from CEQA review and a Notice of Exemption should be
filed.

93939.00005\7853682.1
4. SECTION 3.18 OTHER SPECIFIC CEQA EXEMPTIONS
This section has been amended to reflect the addition of an exemption for street restriping
projects for the purpose of adding bicycle lanes. AB 2245 adds section 21080.20.5 of the Public
Resources Code to exempt from CEQA the restriping of streets in urbanized areas for bicycle
lanes. To qualify for this exemption, the project must be consistent with a bicycle transportation
plan prepared pursuant to section 891.2 of the Streets and Highways Code. Additionally, lead
agencies must prepare an assessment of traffic and safety impacts, and include as part of the
project measures to mitigate potential vehicular,bicycle and pedestrian impacts.
5. SECTION 10 DEFINITIONS
A. Section 10.52. "Pipeline"
The definition of "Pipeline" is changed pursuant to AB 2564 to include subsurface
pipelines and subsurface and surface accessories or appurtenances to the pipeline. Previously,
surface accessories and appurtenances were not included in the definition. Surface pipelines are
still not included.
B. Section 10.60. "Riparian Areas"
Projects that fall within the Roadway Improvements exemption of Section 3.16 of the
Local Guidelines are not exempt if they contain "Riparian Areas" as defined by this new
definition. These areas include, among other things, those areas transitional between terrestrial
and aquatic ecosystems and that are distinguished by gradients in biophysical conditions,
ecological processes, and biota.
C. Section 10.61. "Roadway"
The definition of a "Roadway has been added due to AB 890 regarding the exemption
from CEQA of certain roadway improvements. For purposes of this exemption, expressed
Section 3.16 of the Local Guidelines, "Roadway" means a roadway as defined by the Vehicle
Code and the previously graded and maintained shoulder within the roadway right-of-way. The
repair,maintenance, or minar alteration of a"roadway,"as so defined, is exempt.
D. Section 10.63. "Significant value as wildlife habitat"
Projects that fall within the Roadway Improvements exemption of new Section 3.16 of
the Local Guidelines are not exempt if the project site has "significant value as wildlife habitat"
as defined by this new definition. This includes wildlife habitat of national, statewide, regional,
or local importance; habitat for species protected by the federal Endangered Species Act, the
California Endangered Species Act, or the Native Plant Protection Act; habitat identified as
candidate, fully protected, sensitive, or species of special status by local, state, or federal
agencies; or habitat essential to the movement of resident or migratory wildlife.
E. Section 10.79. "Waterway"
Roadway Improvement Projects that would otherwise be covered by the exemption found
- 3 -
93939.00005\7853682.1
in Section 3.16 of the Local Guidelines are not exempt if the project site crosses a"waterway" as
defined by this new definition. A waterway is a bay, estuary, lake, pond, river, slough, or a
perennial, intermittent, or ephemeral stream, lake, or estuarine-marine shoreline.
Other Chan�es.
Denartment of Fish and Wildlife. Effective January l, 2013, the Depariment of Fish
and Game has changed its name to the Department of Fish and Wildlife. Therefore, all
references in the Local Guidelines have been changed to "Department of Fish and Wildlife" or
"DFW."
Conclusion.
As always, CEQA remains complicated and, at times, challenging to apply. The only
constant in this area of law is how quickly the rules change. Should you have any questions
about any of the provisions discussed above, or about the environmental review of any of your
city's projects,please contact a BB&K attorney for assistance.

Local Guidelines for Implementing the Staff Summary of the
Califomia Environmental Quality Act(2013) CEQA Evaluation Process
Memorandum
To: Project 5 Clients
FROM: Best Best & Krieger LLP
DATE: February 28, 2013
RE: Staff Summary of the CEQA Process and Environmental Filing by
County
2013 LOCAL CEOA GUIDELINES UPDATE
Your agency's Local California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")Guidelines(2013
Update), CEQA Forms and supporting docuxnents are now available on your Best Best&
Krieger LLP ("BB&K") CEQA Portal. Please access the CEQA Client Portal at:
http://clients.bbklaw.net/pfcc/
This memo contains a brief description of how to amend and update your agency's Local
CEQA Guidelines. Additionally, there is a suinmary of County requirements for filing
environmental documents. If you should have any questions regarding the adoption of your 2013
Update, do not hesitate to contact your BB&K attorney.
I. ADOPTING THE 2013 UPDATE
CEQA,as contained in Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq.,requires all public
agencies within the state to evaluate the environmental effects of their actions. CEQA also aims
to prevent significant adverse environmental effects of agency actions by requiring agencies to
avoid or reduce,when feasible, the significant environmental impacts of their decisions. To this
end,CEQA requires all public agencies to adopt Local CEQA Guidelines that identify specific
objectives, criteria, and procedures for evaluating public and private projects that are undertaken
or approved by public agencies.
The 2013 Update meets CEQA's requirements and provides step-by-step procedures for
evaluating projects prior to approval, and also provide instructions and forms for preparing
environmental documents required under CEQA.
The 2013 Update reflects several recent changes in the law. Notably, the 2013 Update
incorporates AB 890,AB 1486,AB 1532,AB 1665,AB 2245,AB 2564,AB 2669, SB 226, SB
535, and SB 1094. This legislation amended several sections of CEQA,adding new sections
relating to exemptions from CEQA for certain infill projects in urban areas,certain roadway
improvements, and for street re-striping projects for bicycle lanes, among other changes. A
memorandum explaining the changes in more detail is available on your Best Best&Krieger
_1_ �O 2013 Best Best&Krieger LLP
Local Guidelines for Implementing the Staff Summary of the
California Envimnmental Quality Act(2013) CEQA Evaluadon Process
CEQA Portal.
Although not every section of your Local CEQA Guidelines has been amended or
changed, several sections have been added or amended, and a substantial number of cross
references throughout the document changed due to the addition of the new sections and
definitions. It is therefore recommended that the entire 2013 Update be adopted instead of just
the amended sections.
Except in certain limited circumstances, such as when the public agency is adopting new
thresholds of significance,adoption of Local CEQA Guidelines and CEQA Forms does not
require a public hearing. However,BB&K recommends that the 2013 Update and CEQA Forms
be adopted at a noticed public meeting as soon as possible.
Sample language for the agenda and staff report is included below. A draft Resolution
Amending and Adopting the Local CEQA Guidelines is also available on the CEQA Client
Portal.
New legislation amending the Brown Act now requires that agendas for regular and
special meetings to be posted on the public agency's website, if the agency has one. Thus,please
consult with staff to ensure that all agendas are now posted on your agency's website, if one is
available. There are numerous other requirements conceming public meetings. Please consult
with your attorney to ensure that all applicable requirements are satisfied.
After the adoption of the 2013 Update,the Local CEQA Guidelines are considered public
documents, and the Guidelines and Forms should be placed at the ciry, county, or public
agency's office with other documents that are available for public viewing.
A. SAMPLE AGENDA LANGUAGE
Title: 2013 Update to the Local California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA")
Guidelines.
Description: The State CEQA Guidelines requires local agencies to adopt"objectives,
criteria and procedures"to implement the requirements of the CEQA statute and the State CEQA
Guidelines. (State CEQA Guidelines Section 15022). The [Your A�y's Name Here]'s Local
CEQA Guidelines have been revised and amended to reflect the State CEQA Guidelines, the
Public Resources Code and local practices.
Recommended Action: Adopt Resolution No. approving the Update to the Local
California Environmental Quality Act(CEQA) Guidelines.
B. SAMPLE STAFF REPORT LANGUAGE
Background: The California Environmental Quality Act("CEQA"),as contained in
Public Resources Code sections 21000 et seq., is California's most comprehensive environmental
law. It requires all public agencies within the state to evaluate the environtnental effects of their
actions. CEQA also aims to prevent significant environxnental effects from occurring as a result
_2_ �2013 Best Best&Krieger LLP
Local Guidelines for Implementing the Staff Summary of the
Califomia Environmental Quality Act(2013) CEQA Evaluarion Process
of agency actions by requiring agencies to avoid or reduce,when feasible, the significant
environmental impacts of their decisions.
To this end,CEQA requires all public agencies to adopt specific objectives, criteria and
procedures for evaluating public and private projects that are undertaken or approved by such
agencies.
Discussion: The [A�ency Name] has prepared a proposed 2013 updated set of Local
CEQA Guidelines for adoption in compliance with CEQA's requirements. These Guidelines
reflect recent changes in the State CEQA Guidelines and relevant court opinions. Notably,
sections of the Guidelines were revised in response to AB 890,AB 1486,AB 1532,AB 1665,
AB 2245,AB 2564,AB 2669, SB 226, SB 535, and SB 1094, which amended several sections of
CEQA, adding new sections relating to exemptions from CEQA for certain infill projects in
urban areas,certain roadway improvements, and for street re-striping projects for bicycle lanes,
among other changes. These Guidelines also provide instructions and forms for preparing any
environmental documents required under CEQA.
Fiscal Impact: No fiscal impact is anticipated from amending the Local CEQA
Guidelines.
Environmental Impact: No environmental impact is anticipated from amending the Local
CEQA Guidelines.
Recommendation: Adopt Resolution No. regarding the adoption of Local CEQA
Guidelines.

*The DFW fee is the same in every county and is due at the time the Notice of Deternunation(NOD)is filed for a project. If the DFW fee is not paid,
the project may not be operative,vested or final and any local permits issued for the project will be invalid.
Note that only one DFW fee is required per project,even if more than one NOD is filed. For example,because lead agencies typically file a NOD before
responsible agencies approve the same project,responsible agencies will not need to pay the DFW fee and will generally only have to pay the applicable
county filing fee.
