ORDINANCES
15) Ordinance No. 1254 - An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of
Vernon, California, adding Article VIII to Chapter 22 of the Vernon
Municipal Code to Establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones and
repealing all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict therewith
Recommendation: A. Find that approval of the proposed Ordinance is
exempt from California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") review,
because it is not a "project" under CEQA, which is defined as an action
directly undertaken by a public agency which has the potential for resulting in
either a direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable
indirect physical change in the environment. See CEQA Guidelines section
15378. Even if the ordinance were to be considered a "project," under CEQA
Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), the ordinance would be exempt from CEQA
review, because it does not have the potential for causing a significant effect
on the environment, especially where, as here, adoption of the ordinance is
being pursued to provide the legal basis for the City to designate preferential
parking zones. 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. Here, the proposed ordinance involves
amending Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks,
and the establishment of Preferential Parking Zones, which would authorize
the City to adopt a resolution designating a specific area as a preferential
parking zone and will not have any effect on the environment; and
B. Approve the second reading, and adopt Ordinance No. 1254 amending
Chapter 22 of the Vernon Municipal Code, Streets and Sidewalks, by adding
Article VIII to establish Residential Preferential Parking Zones.
