administration of the CPC.
13-5-3: AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE: CPC § 103.4.2 is amended to read as follows:
103.4.2 Plan Review Fees
When a plan or other data is required to be submitted by Section 103.2.2, a Plan Review Fee
will be paid at the time of submitting plans and specifications for review. Fees for the Plan
Review will be set by city council resolution. When plans are incomplete or changed so as to
require additional review, a fee will be charged as set by city council resolution."
SECTION 3: CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT EXEMPTION. The City
Council determines that this ordinance is exempt from review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., "CEQA ") and
the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the
"State 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. This ordinance, therefore, is an action being taken for enhanced
protection of the environment and that does not have the potential to cause significant effects on
the environment.
SECTION 4: 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 Any such repealed part will remain in full force and effect for sustaining action or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 5: 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 6: VALIDITY OF PREVIOUS 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.
SECTION 7: The City Clerk is directed to certify the passage and adoption of this Ordinance;
cause it to be entered into the City of El Segundo's book of original ordinances; make a note of
the passage and adoption in the records of this meeting; and, within fifteen (15) days after the
