Approval of the Capital Improvement Plan included in the MPP is exempt from CEQA pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3), Section 15306, Class 6, and 15378(b)(4) of State CEQA Guidelines; and WHEREAS, under Section 15061(b)(3), these actions involve the adoption of a CIP and no specific development is authorized by its adoption. Furthermore, the MPP is a prioritizing and funding allocation program and cannot and does not have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. No physical activity will occur until all required environmental review is conducted at the time the physical improvements prioritized in the MPP are undertaken at a future, unspecified date. Therefore, the approval of the MPP does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The MPP is covered by the "common sense" CEQA exemption because it can be seen with certainty that the guidance would not result in a significant effect on the environment; and WHEREAS, the project is Categorically Exempt (Section 15306 -Class 6) from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); Section 15306, Class 6, exemption consists of basic data collection, research, and resource evaluation activities which do not result in a serious or major disturbance to an environmental resource; and WHEREAS, approval of the MPP is exempt from the requirements of CEQA pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4) because the Plan is not a "project" as defined by CEQA, but involves the creation of government planning mechanism or other government fiscal activities that do not involve any commitment to any specific project that may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the analysis and recommendations of Engineering Services Department staff, contained in their Staff Report dated May 27, 2026. NOW, THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, ORDERED AND FOUND that the Planning Commission of the City of Rancho Cucamonga, State of California, finds the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) that is incorporated into the Major Projects Program (MPP) for Fiscal Year 2026/27 in conformity with the adopted General Plan.
