5-A. CONSIDERATION AND POSSIBLE ACTION TO INTRODUCE AND WAIVE FIRST\nREADING OF AN ORDINANCE SETTING SPEED LIMITS BASED UPON\nCERTIFICATION OF THE 2017 ENGINEERING AND TRAFFIC SURVEY FOR SPEED\nLIMITS EFFECTIVE THROUGH OCTOBER 2031 AND THE 2024 ENGINEERING\nAND TRAFFIC SURVEY OF 26 LOCATIONS FOR SPEED LIMITS THROUGH\nOCTOBER 2038\nIt is recommended that the City Council consider:\n(1) Introducing and waiving first reading for an Ordinance setting speed limits\nthroughout the City; and\n(2) Taking such additional, related, action that may be desirable.\nCEQA (California Environmental Quality Act):\nThis Ordinance is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (California\nPublic Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., “CEQA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder\n(14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq., the “CEQA Guidelines”) because it consists\nonly of minor revisions and clarifications to an existing code of speed control regulations\nestablished in accordance with California law and will not have the effect of deleting or\nsubstantially changing any regulatory standards or findings. This Ordinance, therefore, is an\naction being taken for enhanced protection of the environment and that does not have the\npotential to cause significant effects on the environment. Consequently, it is categorically exempt\nin accordance with CEQA Guidelines §§ 15301 as a minor alteration of existing public or private\nstructures involving no expansion of use; 15305 as a minor alteration in land use limitations which\ndo not result in any changes in land use or density; and 15308 as an action taken by a regulatory\nagency as authorized by California law to assure maintenance or protection of the environment.
