. (a) Notwithstanding Section 21090 of the Public Resources
Code, the Inland Valley Development Agency may determine at a
noticed public hearing that the amendment of a redevelopment plan for
the Norton Air Force Base Redevelopment Project Area pursuant to
this chapter is not subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act (Division 13 (commencing with Section 21000) of the Public
Resources Code), except that projects implementing the redevelopment
plan, including specific plans, rezonings, and ministerial projects
that may have a significant effect on the environment, shall be
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act. The
environmental document for any implementing project shall include an
analysis and mitigation of potential cumulative impacts that
otherwise will not be known until an environmental impact report for
the redevelopment plan is certified.
(b) The notice of the public hearing required pursuant to
subdivision (a) shall include the date, time, and place of the
hearing, a brief description of the proposed project and its
location, the date when notice will be provided pursuant to Section

the notice of exemption are available for review.
(c) The notice required by this section shall be given to all
organizations and individuals who have previously requested notice
pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, and shall be
given by publication, no fewer times than required by Section 6061 of
the Government Code, by the public agency in a newspaper of general
circulation in the area affected by the proposed project.
(d) If the Inland Valley Development Agency determines, pursuant
to subdivision (a), that the amendment of a redevelopment plan is not
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act, the
redevelopment agency shall prepare and certify an environmental
impact report for the redevelopment plan amendment within 12 months
after the effective date of the ordinance amending the redevelopment
plan.
(e) An environmental impact report prepared and certified for a
specific plan or other comprehensive land use plan for the applicable
portion of the Inland Valley Redevelopment Project Area shall
satisfy the requirement of subdivision (d) if the plan covers the
same area and project as the amendment to the redevelopment plan and
is certified within 12 months after the effective date of the
ordinance amending the redevelopment plan.
(f) The redevelopment agency shall revise the redevelopment plan
if necessary to mitigate any impacts and comply with the California
Environmental Quality Act and adopt mitigation measures as conditions
of project approval.
(g) This section shall only apply to a redevelopment plan
amendment approved on or before September 1, 1995.
