The DBF files can be opened in Excel or most other spreadsheet or database software. Amendments to Chapter 31 of the Administrative Code have become effective as of September 25th. Amendments include establishing an appeal timeline for CEQA Exemptions. An appeal timeline for private projects is 30 days after the first approval action. To find out the approval action associated with a project please refer to the exemption document itself. These data include: • Exemptions posted after September 25th which have been issued in the last 35 days after the first approval action has been issued. After 35 days, these exemptions will be removed. • Exemptions posted prior to September 25th will remain in the dataset for 90 days from the initial posting. To find an exemption that is no longer posted in this data please visit the Property Information Map. • Exemptions for projects sponsored by public agencies are provided within the DBF table; many of these cover a wide geographical area and are not included in the shapefiles. The appeal period for public projects is 30 days after the approval action. If the approval action is taken at a noticed public hearing, the date of the hearing marks the beginning of the appeal period. The appeal period for any project approved administratively (not at a noticed public hearing) is triggered by the posting of the date of approval within the DBF table.
