City Council

2-B. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO INTRODUCE AN ORDINANCE ADDING SECTION 9.58.050 ENTITLED “SAFE STORAGE” TO THE MONTEREY PARK MUNICIPAL CODE It is recommended that the City Council consider: (1) Introduce and waive first reading of Ordinance No. _____ adding § 9.58.050 entitled “Safe Storage” to the Monterey Park Municipal Code; (2) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: The City reviewed the environmental impacts of this Ordinance under the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq. “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 Cal. Code of Regs. §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”). This Ordinance is not subject to further review environmental review because: (1) it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15060(c)(2); (2) there is no possibility that the Ordinance itself may have a significant effect on the environment (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15061(b)(3)); and (3) the Ordinance, by itself, does not constitute a “project” as defined in the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code Regs. § 15378). The Ordinance is for general policies and procedure-making. It can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment.
