CITY OF RICHMOND
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of Richmond has scheduled a public hearing for April 4, 2023, at 6:30 p.m. in accordance with Government Code Section 65858 to consider an urgency ordinance to impose a 10-month extension to the 45-day moratorium on the issuance of building permits requiring new sewer connections to the Keller Beach Sanitary Sewer; and, declared an urgency thereof within the Sewer Moratorium Area (map of affected properties is available online at: https://www.ci.richmond.ca.us/4219/Keller-Beach).
As such, no permits requiring new sewer connections may be issued or approved while the moratorium, including any extensions, remains in effect. The Ordinance creates a procedure for relief from the moratorium and established exemptions from same. The Ordinance is not a project under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), in that it maintains the existing physical environment and prevents changes in the environment and so does not have the potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(a)). It is also exempt under Guidelines Sections 15060(c)(2), as the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and Section 15061(b)(3), as there is no possibility that the adoption of this ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment because it maintains the existing condition of the environment.
