Local Guidelines for Implementing the <br />California Environmental Quality Act (2019) NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> <br />mailed, first class postage prepaid, within five (5) days of the City <br />request is made following the City <br />manner as soon as possible. The recipients of such documents may be charged a fee reasonably <br />related to the cost of providing the service. <br />For projects with more than one phase, Staff shall file a Notice of Determination for each <br />phase requiring a discretionary approval. <br />The filing and posting of the Notice of Determination with the County Clerk, and, if <br />necessary, with OPR, usually starts a thirty (30) day statute of limitations on court challenges to <br />the approval under CEQA. When separate notices are filed for successive phases of the same <br />overall project, the thirty (30) day statute of limitations to challenge the subsequent phase begins <br />to run when the second notice is filed. Failure to file the Notice may result in a one hundred <br />eighty (180) day statute of limitations. <br />6.21 A DDENDUM TO N EGATIVE D ECLARATION OR M ITIGATED N EGATIVE D ECLARATION. <br />The City may prepare an addendum to an adopted Negative Declaration or Mitigated <br />Negative Declaration if only minor technical changes or additions are necessary.

(See Local Guidelines Section 6.22 below.) An addendum need not <br />be circulated for public review but can be attached to the adopted Negative Declaration or <br />Mitigated Negative Declaration.
