SECTION 5: 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. Consequently, it is categorically exempt in accordance with CEQA
