ATTY/RESO.0018/PC RESO FY 24-25 DRAFT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REV: 04-30-24 VR Page 1 of 2 RESOLUTION NO. 24-03 A RESOLUTION OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY FINDING THAT THE DRAFT CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024-2025 IS CONSISTENT WITH THE GENERAL PLAN WHEREAS, each year the Planning Commission must review all capital improvement projects that will be planned, initiated or constructed during the ensuing fiscal year for conformity with the General Plan as required by State Planning and Zoning Law (Government Code Section 65401); and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has been furnished a copy of and reviewed the Draft Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 (Draft CIP for FY 24- 25), for conformity with the Redwood City General Plan; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing on May 7, 2024, at which it considered the Draft CIP for FY 24-25, the General Plan, staff reports, oral and written, and the testimony and evidence of all those wishing to be heard; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission’s determination of General Plan consistency is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b) and CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because a “project” under CEQA does not include administrative activities that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. This General Plan consistency determination is an administrative action that does not authorize or otherwise commit the City to any construction or other project which would result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. All future CIP projects, if any, will undergo CEQA review at the time they are approved. Further, even if this action was considered a project under CEQA, it would be exempt pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that determining CIP project consistency with the General Plan will not have a significant impact on the environment; and WHEREAS, each project within the CIP must undergo environmental review before the project is carried out. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The Planning Commission, having independently heard, considered, and weighed all the evidence in the record, finds that the Draft Capital Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2024-2025 conforms to and is consistent with the Redwood City General Plan, and applicable law.
