Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. FIND that in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), it has been determined that the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) Feed-in Tariff 50 Program is exempt pursuant to the General Exemption described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). The General Exemption applies in situations where it can be seen that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have significant effect on the environment. LADWP has no obligation to purchase energy from participants until any applicable CEQA review has been completed and LADWP has determined, based on that review, to approve the purchase of energy from the facility.

CATEGORICAL EXEMPTION, PLANNING AND LAND USE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE REPORT and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC) regarding terms, definitions and standards for repair of damaged buildings after a major earthquake in the City of Los Angeles.

Recommendations for Council action, SUBJECT TO THE APPROVAL OF THE MAYOR:

1. FIND that the Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) because it is not a project for purposes of CEQA and, if it is deemed a project, it is statutorily and categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to Public Resources Code Section 21084 and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060, 15061, 15300, et seq.; CEQA only applies to an activity that is a project under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(3), 15378(a); proposed Ordinance is not a project if it has no potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment pursuant to Id. Sections 15378(a) and 15060(c)(2), (CEQA does not apply if the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment); the  Ordinance merely strengthens existing building code standards for the repair of newer buildings that sustained significant structural damage caused by seismic or similar events and does not mandate the repair be done, but merely establishes a standard for evaluation of the damage and the level of repair to be undertaken; therefore, the adoption of the Ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change to the environment and CEQA does not apply; if the Ordinance is deemed a project, it may be found exempt from CEQA because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment, pursuant to Id. Section 15061(b)(3); for the same reasons described above, this common sense exemption applies to the Ordinance and there is no possibility of a significant environmental impact; in addition to the aforementioned findings, it may also be determined that the Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15061(b)(3), 15301 (Class 1 - Existing Facilities), 15302 (Class 2 - Replacement or Reconstruction) and 15269 (Statutory Exemption for Emergency); and under the City of Los Angeles CEQA Guidelines, Class 1, Type 1 (Existing Facilities) and Class 2, Type 2 (Replacement or Reconstruction).
   
   
2. ADOPT the FINDINGS contained in the City Attorney report dated January 21, 2016, attached to Council file No. 14-1697, as the Findings of Council.
   
   
3. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated January 21, 2016, amending Sections 91.202, 91.3401, 91.3401.1, 91.3405.2.1, 91.3405.2.2, 91.3405.2.3 and 91.3405.4 of Article I of Chapter IX of the LAMC to amend terms, definitions and standards for repair of damaged buildings after a major earthquake in the City of Los Angeles.
