PRESENTATION & TENTATIVE ACTION ON FINAL AGRICULTURAL PROTECTION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (APAC) RECOMMENDATIONS

CEQA Status:
Feasibility and planning studies for possible future actions are Statutorily Exempt under 14 California Code of Regulations 15262 (State CEQA Guidelines) and CEQA is not applicable. These recommendations, in and of themselves, do not have a potential for resulting in a direct, physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change, and therefore are not considered to be a project under 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines). Also, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the proposed action may have a significant effect on the environment and therefore CEQA is not applicable pursuant to the General Rule contained in the Guidelines For the Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act, 14 CCR 15061(b)(3).

Request: The Resolution adopted by the Board of Supervisors that formed the Agricultural Advisory Committee (APAC) directed the Committee to report its final recommendations to the Planning Commission by September 2, 2015. The Board of Supervisors directed the Planning Commission to provide its recommendations by November 10, 2015.

Staff Recommendation: Ask any clarifying questions, take public comment, discuss the Final Report, and take action on APAC recommendations and associated policies.
