CHANGES IN CAliFORNIA £NVIRONHHTAL QUALITY
ACT AfFECTING NOTICING REQUIREMENTS
~rs of the Council:
llfs ~emo fs for fafonmation purposes onl1~ ~o Coune.l action fs required.
New State Jaw. effective January 1. 1990. r-equfres that any .propos~d negatfW'e
decllratfon be given newspapeT Dotice 21 days prior to t~e date of action by
the ffrst pub'ic dec~sion-maler. Formerl~, t~e revfew period for ~egatf~e
declarations _as subject onll to local guidelines. The Fal. Alto CEQA
tufdelfnes established I .iafmum four-day review period. Because t~e majority
of projects reviewed by the Citl of hI. Alt. (i. e .• Public Vorb projects,
zone changes, subdivisions. use perm1ts, Arc~ltecturil Review Board
applications) receive ~egati~e declarations, t~is requirement substantially
lengthens the process log ttme for the maJorlt, .f applIcations requiring
discretionary approvals. Tbe primary projetts which ~fe not affected afe
t~o$e ~hic. are Categorica11, Exempt fro~ tbe CEQA requirements. Review
periods for envfroruaental impact reports alsa have not c~inged.
A practlcal effect of the Dew Ia .. Is t~at there is • longer lead time befo·re
the Iten .nIl appear before the decf5Ion-~ating body. Additionall" any
substantive c~anges made to i project by the Board, Commission Dr Council t~at
require I modified environmental assessment cannot be brou9~t bact to the
dectsfon-maker OD the very next agenda. If t~e cnange fs substantfve, tne
~odffled envlronment.l 40cument wIll need t. be renoticed for a 21·day period
Frfor to attioD, leading to appr~ximatelJ a one-month delay ~ere I week was
fGrmer)1 t~e commOD twrl-arQund.
The advantage of the new requirement fs that it allows I longer 'ead time fo~
publfc scrwtiDJ ~f the environmental deteraination prior to the ~eari~g on a
project. The dfsadvantage fs that it slows t~e review process for the
majoritl ~f projects. whether or not there is publfc f~terest and iDvolvement.
