SUMMARY
In 1990, the City established the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Development Impact Fee (DIF) by City Council Ordinance 2384 to fund the necessary improvements to the Telegraph Canyon Drainage Channel (Channel). Since that time, several improvements within the Channel have been completed. Currently, there is a Channel erosion repair project under construction. A new study is needed to determine the reasonable relationship between the use of the fee for the construction of the planned drainage facilities and the development of the property within the Telegraph Canyon Drainage DIF basin. As a result, staff recommends that a contract be awarded to Atkins North America, Inc. for developing a Telegraph Canyon Channel Nexus Study.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity, approving an agreement for developing a Telegraph Canyon Channel Nexus Study, for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(4) of the State CEQA Guidelines because preparation of a nexus report is a fiscal activity that does not involve a physical change to the environment; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the actions proposed are not subject to CEQA.
