SECTION 3. Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act. The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) because it is not a “project” within the meaning of CEQA. Pursuant to section 15378, subdivision (b)(2), of Division 6 of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations (the “CEQA Guidelines”), the term “project” does not include continuing administrative or maintenance activities, including general policy or procedure making (except as applied to specific instances not germane to this Ordinance).
Even if it is a “project,” the City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15301 in that it consists of the operation, maintenance, or minor alteration of existing public facilities or topographical features, namely, existing streets, involving negligible or no expansion of existing or former use. Moreover, the City Council finds and determines with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment; thus, it is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061, subdivision (b)(3).
SECTION 4. Severability. This Ordinance is adopted under the authority of the Charter of the City of Glendale and state law. If any section, subsection, clause or phrase is declared invalid or otherwise void by a court of competent jurisdiction, it shall not affect any remaining provisions hereof. In this regard, the City Council finds and declares that it would have adopted this measure notwithstanding any partial invalidity hereof.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in force thirty (30) days after the date of its passage.
Passed and adopted by the Council of the City of Glendale on the _____ day of _______________, 2025.
