Please review the documents to determine if there are any posting periods and/or hearings required before the Board of Supervisors can take action on the project. These documents should be kept in the project file for future reference. (Y) Initial Study of Environmental Significance. ( ) Copy of the Notice of Exemption (w/receipt). (The original is: on file in Community Development Department; _on file with the County Clerk; being returned for filing in project file.) ( ) Copy of the Notice of Determination.

WHEN YOU HAVE SCHEDULED THIS ITEM WITH THE BOARD PLEASE SEND ONE COPY BACK TO ME WITH A NOTE STATING THE DATE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS IS TO HEAR THE ITEM. When the Board of Supervisors takes action on the project, it must "review" and "consider' the environmental impact report or negative declaration, together with any comments received during the public review process. They must then adopt the environmental document before approving the project. You must, therefore, provide copies for each member of the Board of the respective environmental impact report, notice of negative declaration, or the notice of exemption, along with any comments received during the review period. They must review and consider these items before approving the project. If they do not physically have the documents, they cannot consider them. In the case of projects which are exempt from CEQA, the Board Order should concur in the determination that the project is categorically exempt, and direct the filing of the Notice of Exemption. PLEASE NOTIFY US, WITHIN 2 DAYS OF THE BOARD HEARING ON THIS PROJECT, WHAT ACTION THE BOARD TOOK SO THAT WE CAN INITIATE THE FILING OF THE NOTICE OF EXEMPTION OR NOTICE OF DETERMINATION WITH THE COUNTY CLERK. THE FILING OF THESE NOTICES STARTS THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON COURT CHALLENGES TO THE APPROVAL UNDER CEQA. HENCE, THE FILING OF THESE NOTICES ARE IMPORTANT SINCE IT LIMITS THE COUNTY'S LIABILITY. If you have any questions concerning the above documents or the CEQA process, please contact Catherine Kutsuris at 335-1210.
