Summary

Staff reported EMC Planning Group found the unification project exempt under CEQA's "common sense" exemption; the committee moved, seconded and approved a motion to receive and file the notice of exemption and direct staff to post and distribute it.

Staff summarized the CEQA review performed by EMC Planning Group and said the consultant determined the unification is exempt under the "common sense exemption," explaining there is "no possibility that the project may have a significant effect on the environment" because there will be no new construction and students will remain at the same facilities.

Following that presentation, a motion was made and seconded to "receive and file and instruction to staff to post and distribute" the notice of exemption; the chair called for the vote and the motion passed on a voice vote with members answering "aye."
