Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Categorical Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15320
Reasons for Exemption
The action is exempt as described in Section 15320 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, which states, “Class 20 consists of changes in the organization or reorganization of local governmental agencies where the changes do not change the geographical area in which previously existing powers are exercised.” The ordinance establishing the Roseville Independent Redistricting Commission will not result in changes to the geographic area (City of Roseville) where existing powers are exercised, and therefore a CEQA Class 20 Exemption is applicable.
