SEC. 31.06. COVERAGE OF STATE LAW.

CEQA provides that certain kinds of projects may be subject to CEQA. Some of these projects may be excluded or exempt from CEQA. If not excluded or exempt, CEQA provides a process whereby an initial study is completed, then a determination is made as to whether a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or an environmental impact report ("EIR") should be prepared. In accordance with the requirements of CEQA and as specified herein, the Planning Commission and/or the Environmental Review Officer shall determine when CEQA applies to a project, when the project is excluded or exempt, or when a negative declaration, mitigated negative declaration, or environmental impact report is required.
