County Clerk, and
DIRECT the Public Works Director/Chief Engineer to arrange for payment of the $25.00
handling fee to the County Clerk for filing of the Notice of Exemption.

There is no impact on the General Fund. The proposed landscaping assessment districts
would pay the entire cost of maintaining the landscape improvements.
III. Reasons for R _ comm _ndations and. Background:
The adoption of a Negative Declaration satisfies the requirements for compliance with the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). New subdivision developments are required,
through Conditions of Approval, to install frontage and/or median island landscaping
improvements (ie. trees, shrubs, irrigation equipment). Formation of the nine (9) new
landscape assessment zones provides the mechanism for collection of assessments, which
enables the County to maintain these frontage and/or median island landscape improve-
ments.
