Ordinance No. CS 1049 Page 8
circulation printed and published in Merced County and circulated in Atwater, in accordance with California Government Code Section 36933. This Ordinance shall take effect and be enforced thirty (30) days after its adoption.

Section 4: SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or application, and to this end the provisions of this ordinance are severable.

This City Council declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any particular portion thereof and intends that the invalid portions should be severed, and the balance of the ordinance be enforced.

SECTION 5: CEQA. The City Council finds that the adoption and implementation of this ordinance is not a “project” for purposes of CEQA as that term is defined by CEQA Guidelines sections 15061. No impact to the physical environment will result as this only relates to enforcement of certain violations of the Code.
