ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION: The proposed action is not a project as defined by 14 California Code of Regulations 15378 (State CEQA Guidelines) and therefore CEQA is not applicable.

Consideration and possible action on an appeal filed by Mr. Dirk Fulton to a partial denial by the Director of Public Works of a road improvement modification requested by the appellant in connection with the application for Use Permit # 04065-UP for a property located at 263 Petrified Forest Road, Calistoga. (Assessor's Parcel No. 020-430-006)
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION:  The appeal of the Director’s determination on the road modification is not a “project” as defined in CEQA Section 15378.  Section 15378(c) sets forth that the term “project” refers to an activity which is being approved, and does not mean each separate governmental approval.  In this case, the Board’s determination on the road modification merely establishes how existing regulations are being interpreted, and will not result, either directly or indirectly, in a physical change in the environment.  This code interpretation is necessary to establish the scope of the “project” that will then be subject to CEQA evaluation.
