SUMMARY
The State of California recently released a notice of funding availability for the Housing-Related Parks Program (HRP). This program provides incentives and rewards to local governments for building affordable housing by providing grant money for the creation, development or rehabilitation of park and recreation facilities. With existing park and recreation facilities in western Chula Vista in need of repairs and enhancements, staff recommends that the grant proposal focus on these parks and recreation facilities.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines because the proposed action consists of a governmental fiscal activity which, on its own, would not result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. However, when the actual project(s) for which the grant monies are earmarked are adequately defined and ready to be carried out, the appropriate environmental review and documentation will be required. Therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines, the activity is not subject to CEQA.
