The adoption of this section does not, in itself, allow the construction of any building or structure. The adoption of this section, therefore, has no potential for resulting in physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately. Notwithstanding the adoption of this section, individual projects shall not be exempt from compliance with CEQA.
