Section 2. The Agency has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence
presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the
California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a
previously prepared categorical exemption adequately addresses the expected
environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the Agency finds that
there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the Project will have a
significant adverse effect on the environment. The Agency hereby approves use of this
previously adopted categorical exemption and directs that the Notice of Determination be
prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required
by law.
