11 PUBLIC HEARINGS
A Consideration and possible action to conduct a public hearing to consider adopting Resolution No. 20-17 – A Resolution adopting Parks and Recreation Facility Use Fees, establishing facility use policies and procedures, and superseding Resolution No. 09-72; and waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1413 – An Ordinance adding a new chapter
12.42 to Title 12 of the Bellflower Municipal Code entitled “Permits Authorizing Events Conducted in City Parks and Facilities.” CEQA: The proposed Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and CEQA regulations (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because it clarifies existing regulations related to the unlawful use of public property; does not involve any commitment to a specific project which could result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment; and constitutes an organizational or administrative activity that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment. Accordingly, this Ordinance does not constitute a “project” that requires environmental review (see specifically 14 CCR § 15378(b)(2, 5)).
Recommendation to City Council: 1) Open the public hearing, take testimonial and documentary evidence, and after considering the evidence, adopt Resolution No. 22-17; and 2) Waive further reading and adopt Ordinance No. 1413; or 3) Alternatively, discuss and take other action related to this item.
