Pursuant to California Government Code § 50022.1 to 50022.8, the

SECTION 3: Environmental Assessment. The City Council determines that this

(California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA") and the regulations
promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA
Guidelines") because it consists only of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing
code of construction -related regulations and specification of procedures related thereto
and will not have the effect of deleting or substantially changing any regulatory standards
or findings required therefor, and therefore does not have the potential to cause significant
effects on the environment. In addition, this ordinance is an action being taken for
enhanced protection of the environment and is exempt from further review under CEQA
Guidelines § 15308.
SECTION 4: Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed in order to achieve
the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of
this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that
facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.
SECTION 5: Savings Clause. Repeal of any provision of the ESMC or any other city
ordinance herein will not affect any penalty, forfeiture, or liability incurred before, or
preclude prosecution and imposition of penalties for any violation occurring before, this
Ordinance's effective date. Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for
sustaining action or prosecuting violations occurring before the effective date of this
Ordinance.
SECTION 6: Severability. If any part of this Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid
by a court of competent jurisdiction, the city council intends that such invalidity will not
affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the
provisions of this Ordinance are severable.
SECTION 7: Validity of Prior Code Sections. If this the entire Ordinance or its application
is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal of the ESMC or other
the city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such ESMC
provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.
