The City Council took action
August 14, 2001 (CF 98-2064) to authorize City departments to use the CEQA
Thresholds Guide for administrative guidance in the preparation and review of
environmental documentation. Council instructed the EAD to make technical revisions and
updates to the draft and to provide a process for future updates. Minor
modifications have been made to the document, including updated contact and
background information. The final document
has been posted.
The L.A. CEQA Thresholds Guide: Your Resource for Preparing CEQA Analyses
in Los Angeles (Thresholds Guide) is a guidance document that draws
together practical information useful to City staff, project proponents, and the
public involved in the environmental review of projects in the City of Los
Angeles subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The document
is a reference guide that provides information that can assist in the
preparation and review of environmental impact analyses.
The 2006 Thresholds Guide is a document representing
the technical input of City departments and bureaus. This is the result of the City's effort to develop citywide guidance for CEQA impact analyses. The City Council approved a one-year pilot period,
beginning in January 1999, to allow City departments and the public to become
familiar with the draft Thresholds Guide and provide comments on its content and
use. In the summer of 2001 an
evaluation was presented to the City Council. The City Council proceeded
to finalize the document, and now a final Thresholds Guide has been prepared. Additional public
comments are still appreciated.
The Thresholds Guide is more fully described in the
Executive
Summary.
