9. First Reading and Introduction of an Ordinance No. 1513 to Amend Sections 153.040.070, 153.070.020, 153.120.350, 153.120.360 and 153.120.370 of the Baldwin Park Municipal Code Relating to Accessory Dwelling Units and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units and Finding the Action to be Statutorily Exempt from CEQA 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.) (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Code Regs, tit. 14, §§ 15000 et seq.). Specifically, the ordinance is categorically exempt from CEQA under Guidelines Section 21080.17, which exempts the adoption of an Accessory Dwelling Unit ordinance to implement the provisions of Section 66310, et. seq. of the Government Code, and that therefore no environmental review under CEQA is required. 3.
