10. Recommendation
Find that the proposed actions are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the General Rule the CEQA only applies to projects that may have an effect on the environment
Remove the Complete Streets - Orange Grove Boulevard (Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements) Project (Priority 5.40) from the Future Projects Section of the Capital Improvement Program, thereby eliminating the “road diet” option for Orange Grove Boulevard
