12C. AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON, CALIFORNIA,\nADOPTING CHAPTER 9.14 RELATING TO THE PROHIBITION ON REPAIRS AND\nSALES OF BICYCLES AND BICYCLE PARTS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY\nThe City has identified activities occurring on public rights of way that are commonly\nknown as “bike chop shops.” These activities consist of individuals using sidewalks to,\namong other things, assemble, disassemble, and sell or distribute stolen bicycles. Not\nonly do these illegal activities negatively impact quality of life within the City, they also\nblock and encroach on the City’s public rights of way.

City Council declare that this project is not subject to the California Environmental\nQuality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a\ndirect or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and\n15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA\nGuidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no\npotential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; and\n2. Introduce for first reading, by title only, and waive further reading of proposed\nOrdinance No. 1157, entitled:\n“AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF STANTON,\nCALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE STANTON MUNICIPAL CODE BY\nADDING CHAPTER 9.14 RELATING TO THE PROHIBITION ON\nREPAIRS AND SALES OF BICYCLES AND BICYCLE PARTS ON\nPUBLIC PROPERTY”; and\n3.
