NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Corona, California, as follows:
SECTION 1. Findings. The recitals set forth above are hereby adopted as findings in support of this Resolution.
SECTION 2. Solicitor Permit Fee. There is hereby established and adopted a fee of Sixty-Seven Dollars ($67) for application of a solicitor permit required by Section 5.34.020 of the Corona Municipal Code. The City Council finds and determines that this fee does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of processing and issuing a solicitor permit. This fee shall be included in the City’s annual fee study and may be amended by resolution of the City Council. 2 SECTION 3. Sidewalk Vendor Permit Fee. There is hereby established and adopted a fee of Sixty-Seven Dollars ($67) for application of a sidewalk vendor permit required by Section 5.35.030 of the Corona Municipal Code. The City Council finds and determines that this fee does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of processing and issuing a sidewalk vendor permit. This fee shall be included in the City’s annual fee study and may be amended by resolution of the City Council.
SECTION 4. Impound Fee. There is hereby established and adopted a fee of Two Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars ($275) for the recovery of impounded sidewalk vending receptacles, food and merchandise required by Section 5.35.100(C) of the Corona Municipal Code.
The City Council finds and determines that this fee does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of impounding, storing, and processing the release of a sidewalk vending receptacle, food and merchandise. This fee shall be included in the City’s annual fee study and may be amended by resolution of the City Council.
SECTION 5 CEQA Findings. This Resolution is exempt pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the Guidelines for the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), which states that a project is exempt from CEQA if the activity is covered by the common sense rule that CEQA applies only to projects that have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CEQA. This Resolution simply adopts a fee for permit applications and impounded equipment and materials and there is no possibility that adopting this Resolution will have a significant effect on the environment. Therefore, no environmental analysis is required.
SECTION 6. Effective Date. The Mayor shall sign this Resolution and the City Clerk shall attest thereto, and this Resolution shall take effect and be in force on the date that Urgency Ordinance No. 3398 becomes effective.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 7
th day of August 2024.
