GENERAL EXEMPTION and COMMUNICATION FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY and ORDINANCE FIRST CONSIDERATION relative to amending the Los Angeles Administrative Code (LAAC) to increase the Zoo admission fee schedule by $5 for the Los Angeles Zoo for Fiscal Year 2025-26.
Official recommendation
DETERMINE that it is not a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) project under State CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4), as it creates a government funding mechanism that does not involve any commitment to any specific project that may, in turn, result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and State CEQA Guideline Section 15061(b)(3) and City CEQA Guidelines Article ii, Section 1 (General Exemption) because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question will have a significant effect on the environment. PRESENT and ADOPT the accompanying ORDINANCE dated June 10, 2025, amending Section 22.715 of Article 4, Chapter 27, Division 22 ofthe LAAC to increase the Zoo admission fee schedule by $5.00. Fiscal Impact Statement: None submitted by the City Attorney. Neither the City Administrative Officer nor the Chief Legislative Analyst has completed a financial analysis of this report. Community Impact Statement: None submitted (Arts, Parks, Libraries, and Community Enrichment Committee waived consideration of the above matter.)
