Baldwin Park
City Council
Agenda Item 17
17. First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance that Amends Title XV, Chapter 153 of the
(Location: City Wide; Case Number AZC 25-04).
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing.
2. Find the proposed ordinance is exempt from environmental review under the California
Environmental Quality Act (Pub. Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.) (âCEQAâ) and the State
CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). Specifically, the ordinance is
exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (Common Sense Exception) since it
can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the ordinance may have a significant
effect on the environment, either directly or indirectly, and that therefore no environmental
review under CEQA is required.
3. Introduce by first reading, by title only and waive further reading, Ordinance 1527, entitled
