Section 2. Notice of Exemption Re: CEQA. Due to the nature of the Amendment, it was
determined that the proposed Amendment did not qualify as a project as defined by the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and, therefore, a Notice of Exemption will be
prepared. This determination is based upon Section 15061 (b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines,
which states that possible exemptions from CEQA include that an "activity is covered by the
general rule that CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant
effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to
CEQA." The Amendment further constitutes a government fiscal activity with no commitment
of funds to a specific project, which pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378 (b)(4) is also
exempt. Upon approval and adoption of this Ordinance, the City Council directs City staff to
prepare a Notice of Exemption and, in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15062, to file
the Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk of Orange County. All activities undertaken by
the Agency and/or the City pursuant to or in implementation of the Amendment shall be
undertaken in accordance with the mitigation measures and monitoring program within the Final
Environmental Impact Report prepared in connection with the Existing Plans, and the Agency
shall undertake such additional environmental review or assessment as necessary under law at the
time of the proposed implementation of such activities.
Section 3. Certification. The City Clerk is hereby directed to send a certified copy of this
Ordinance to the Agency, whereupon the Agency is vested with the responsibility for carrying
out the Amendment.
Section 4. Partial Invalidity; Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or the
Amendment which it approves is held to be invalid for any reason, such decision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining portion of this Ordinance or of the Amendment, and this City
Council hereby declares that it would have passed the remainder of the Ordinance or approved
the remainder of the Amendment if such invalid portion thereof had been deleted.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect thirty (30) days
after adoption.
