including Appendices A, B, D, I, and L ( "CPC ") is adopted by

SECTION 4: 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 "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. Consequently, it is
categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 as a minor
alteration of existing public or private structures involving no expansion of use;
15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which do not result in any
changes in land use or density; and 15308 as an action taken by a regulatory
agency as authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of
the environment.
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 Any such repealed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 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 8: EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance will take effect on January 1,
2011.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this
