Added language to the ordinance:
Whereas, in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), the CEQA
Guidelines, and the City's environmental procedures, City Council finds that the adoption of
this ordinance is covered by CEQA General Rule Exemption [Section 15061(b)(3)] which
exempts activities that can be seen with certainty to have no possibility for causing a
significant effect on the environment. A significant effect is defined as, "a substantial, or
potentially substantial, adverse change in the physical conditions within the area," and the
adoption of this Ordinance is therefore not subject to CEQA.
