In contrast, the City - <br />sponsored initiative is subject to CEQA review. <br />Therefore, in accordance with this requirement, staff reviewed the Environmental Checklist Form <br />(Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines) to determine if there would be any possibility that the City - <br />sponsored initiative would have the possibility of creating any environmental impacts. Based on <br />this review, staff has determined that the establishment of regulations for medical marijuana <br />collectives does not meet any of the thresholds contained in the Checklist that would trigger an <br />environmental impact. According to the "general rule exemption" (Section 15061(b)(3)) of the <br />CEQA Guidelines, projects which have no potential for causing a significant effect on the <br />environment are not subject to CEQA. No further environmental analysis is required. A notice of <br />exemption will be filed for this project. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The cost to consolidate the General Municipal Election is estimated to be $225,000.
