Resolution No. PC 2023-30 ZOA - Title 19 of the CMC

SECTION 2. General Plan Findings. Considering all of its aspects, the proposed amendments to the CMC will further the goals, objectives, and policies of the General Plan and will not obstruct their attainment. The amendments are relatively minor in nature and are intended to bring the Municipal Code into compliance with State law mandates. Therefore, the amendment will not frustrate any goal or policy set forth in the General Plan.

SECTION 3. Environmental Findings. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ further review any activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. The proposed Ordinance implements the provisions of SB 6, AB 2011, and SB 9, and is for general policies and procedure making. Accordingly, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment and this activity is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guideline § 15060(c). Further, the Resolution is also exempt from review under CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15061(b)(3) because the Resolution is for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed Resolution may have a significant effect on the environment.

SECTION 4. Recommendation of Approval. Based on the above findings, and after receiving evidence and testimony at a public hearing, the Planning Commission recommends approval of the proposed Ordinance, attached as Exhibit A, to the City Council.

It is the Planning Commission's intent that the provisions of this Resolution be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Resolution.

SECTION 6. Limitations. The Planning Commission's analysis and evaluation of this matter is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating the matter that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the matter will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the matter is the Planning Commission's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are the limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and national problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it exists and with the limitations inherent in that framework.

SECTION 7. Severability. If any part of this Resolution or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Planning Commission intends that such invalidity will not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions or applications and, to this end, the provisions of this Resolution are severable.

SECTION 8. Electronic Signatures. This Resolution may be executed with electronic signatures in accordance with Government Code §16.5. Such electronic signatures will be treated in all respects as having the same effect as an original signature.

Resolution No. PC 2023-30 ZOA - Title 19 of the CMC

SECTION 2. Environmental Review. The City reviewed the environmental impacts of the Project under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. "CEQA") and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the "CEQA Guidelines"). SB 6, AB 2011, and SB 9, explicitly exempt ordinances that implement their provisions. CEQA Guidelines § 15060(c) exempts from further review any activity that will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.

Accordingly, it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the proposed Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment and this activity is exempt from further review pursuant to CEQA Guideline § 15060(c).

SECTION 3: General Plan Findings. Pursuant to Government Code § 65860, the City Council hereby determines that this Ordinance is compatible with, consistent with and integrated with all other elements of the City's General Plan and makes the following findings:
• General Plan Residential Land Use Objective: "It]o continually improve the areas as places for living by ensuring that those portions of the city which are best suited for residential use will be developed and preserved as healthful, safe, pleasant, attractive neighborhoods where all citizens are served by a full range of appropriate community facilities." General Plan Residential Land Use Principle:
"ItJo protect residential property values and privacy by ensuring compatible development with surrounding land uses and by preventing the intrusion of incompatible land uses." General Plan Housing Element Goal 2: "[e]ncourage the

availability of a variety of housing designs, tenures and prices to meet the needs of present and future City residents." General Plan Housing Element Policy 3 "Ip]romote accessibility to housing opportunities by all households, regardless of income, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, sex, marital status, age, familial status, disabilities/medical conditions, source of income, sexual orientation, or any other classes protected by local, state, and federal fair housing laws."
• The purpose of this Zoning Ordinance Text Amendment is to implement State law concerning residential development in commercial zones, accessory dwelling units, density bonus, parking requirements, and urban dwelling units. The text amendment updates the City's code to comply with state law related to housing, thereby promoting accessibility to housing opportunities regardless of income.

Accessory dwelling units, mixed-use developments, urban dwelling units, affordable units created through density bonus law, and more flexible housing developments created through less stringent parking standards have the effect of enabling the development of a greater variety of housing, including missing middle and affordable housing. Similarly, this increase in housing has the effect of promoting its market accessibility to all households regardless of their backgrounds. The text amendment will have the result of encouraging additional housing to be built and made available to present and future City residents.

SECTION 4. Amendment and Restatement. As set forth in Exhibit A, the affected code sections of the CMC are amended and restated.

SECTION 5. Renumbering. All sections of the CMC affected by changes implemented by this Ordinance are renumbered as appropriate.

SECTION 6. Construction. This Ordinance must be broadly construed to achieve the purposes stated in this Ordinance. It is the City Council's intent that the provisions of this Ordinance be interpreted or implemented by the City and others in a manner that facilitates the purposes set forth in this Ordinance.

SECTION 7. Enforceability. Repeal of any provision of the CMC does 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 8. Validity of Previous Code Sections. If this entire Ordinance or its application is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, any repeal or amendment of the CMC or other city ordinance by this Ordinance will be rendered void and cause such previous CMC provision or other the city ordinance to remain in full force and effect for all purposes.

SECTION 9. Limitations. The City Council's analysis and evaluation of the project is based on the best information currently available. It is inevitable that in evaluating a project that absolute and perfect knowledge of all possible aspects of the project will not exist. One of the major limitations on analysis of the project is the City Council's lack of knowledge of future events. In all instances, best efforts have been made to form accurate assumptions. Somewhat related to this are limitations on the City's ability to solve what are in effect regional, state, and National problems and issues. The City must work within the political framework within which it SECTION 10. 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.
