After acceptance of a complete application, the project shall be reviewed as required by the City of Chico Environmental Review Guidelines, Title 1 of the Municipal Code, and the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to determine whether the proposed project is exempt from the requirements of CEQA or is not a project as defined by CEQA, whether a negative declaration may be issued, or whether an environmental impact report (EIR) shall be required. These determinations and, where required, the preparation of EIRs, shall be in compliance with the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines.
