611.01: PURPOSE:

Porterville Zoning Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-07-09 · Porterville

This article establishes procedures for conducting environmental review to meet requirements of the California environmental quality act (CEQA) and the national environmental policy act (NEPA). These provisions are intended to ensure that responsible decision makers and the public are informed about the potentially significant environmental effects of proposed activities and that environmental review is integrated with the discretionary review provisions that this article establishes to promote incorporation of environmental considerations into the design, planning, and review of projects. These procedures apply to all projects sponsored or assisted by the city and to all private projects requiring any discretionary approvals from the city. In the event of a conflict between these environmental review regulations and applicable federal or state regulations or guidelines, the applicable federal or state regulations shall prevail. (Ord. 1801, 12-3-2013)
