Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Resolution adopting the Santa Barbara County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan by Reference into the Safety Element of the Santa Barbara County General Plan, as follows:
a) Adopt a Resolution incorporating by reference the Santa Barbara County Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan as part of the Safety Element of the Santa Barbara County General Plan in accordance with the requirements of California Government Code section 8685.9; and
b) Determine that the adoption of the Resolution is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), finding that the adoption of the Resolution is covered by the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, and where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activities in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activities are not subject to CEQA, and direct staff to file a Notice of Exemption.
