Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Adopt a resolution amending the County of Monterey Condition of Approval and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("Program")

SUMMARY:
On December 5, 2000 the Monterey County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance No. 04087, thereby incorporating into the Monterey County Code the existing State CEQA Guidelines as they may be amended from time to time. The ordinance, codified at Chapter 16.70 of the Monterey County Code, became effective on January 5, 2001. On October 9, 2001, the Board of Supervisors adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program delineating procedures to guide County land use departments in ensuring the implementation of mitigation monitoring and reporting requirements under CEQA (Resolution No. 01-391).

As a result of a litigation settlement with the Save Our Peninsula Committee ("SOPC"), and with the goal of improving compliance with CEQA, its related mitigation monitoring and reporting procedures, and the ability of the public to review and monitor compliance with CEQA and its own procedures, the County updated the 2001 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("Program") in 2012 to include Conditions of Approval that were not mitigation requirements. Subsequent amendments to the program were adopted in 2014 (Resolution No. 14-363) to establish procedures for electronic tracking of conditions of approval, clarify applicability of the Program to discretionary land use entitlements that are approved with mitigation measures, and clarify administration and implementation of the Program.
