Project. <br /> <br /> In accordance with the definition in the State CEQA Guide- <br />lines, the term "project", as used in these Environmental Rules, <br />refers to the underlying planned or proposed physical development <br />or activity entailing physical change rather than to the actions <br />taken to approve such proposed activities. Grants of permits or <br />entitlements of use such as tentative subdivision maps, variances, <br />conditional use permits, or zone change applications are to be <br />viewed as actions to approve a project rather than as the project <br />itself. However, any amendment to the zoning ordinances or to the <br />General Plan which is not related to any planned or proposed <br />specific physical development or activity shall constitute a <br />project to be analyzed for its potential impact on the environment <br />and such amendments which pertain to the same territory shall <br />constitute a single project. <br /> <br /> <br />
