SECTION 2. The Council finds that the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) because the Ordinance clarifies that multiple-family residential uses may be considered in the ROLM(E) district through the existing Conditional Use Permit process established in Section
18.20.040(b)(5). The Ordinance does not approve a specific development project, modify the applicable development standards, or eliminate discretionary review. As such, it can be seen with certainty that the proposed action will not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment.
SECTION 3. This ordinance shall be effective on the thirty-first date after the date of its adoption.
