8.A. - Page 21 of 32 affecting light and air, impacting property values, and posing security concerns; and (2) Action must be taken immediately to preserve the public peace, health, and safety because but for the Zoning Ordinance Amendments becoming effective immediately, at least one architectural permit for second story ADUs will be deemed complete and/or issued by the time a traditional ordinance would go into effect. Now, therefore, the City Council hereby declares and imposes an urgency Ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety as set forth below: A. The City Council of the City of Redwood City hereby adopts the Zoning Ordinance Amendments as provided in Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated by reference, by adding text shown in underline (example) and deleting the text shown in strikeout (example). Wording in brackets ([example]) is informational only and is not to be included in the published ordinance. SECTION 4. Effective Date and Duration. Pursuant to Government Code section 36937(b), this Ordinance shall take effect immediately. SECTION 5. Compliance with CEQA. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments have been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections 15000 et seq.). Adoption of an ordinance regarding accessory dwelling units in a single-family or multifamily residential zone to implement the provisions of Government Code is an action that is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h). The remaining amendments have been evaluated and found to not have an impact on the environment under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that they will not have an impact on the environment, as described in the staff report. SECTION 6. Severability. The City Council hereby declares every section, paragraph, sentence, cause and phrase is severable. If any section, paragraph, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason found to be invalid or unconstitutional, such invalidity, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases. SECTION 7. Applicability. This Ordinance shall not apply to applications deemed complete prior to the Ordinance's effective date. SECTION 8. Publication. The City Clerk is directed to cause this ordinance to be published in the manner required by law. THE FOREGOING URGENCY ORDINANCE was introduced and adopted, effective immediately, at a regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Redwood City held on July 22, 2019, by the following vote: ATTY/ORD.489/CC URGENCY ORDINANCE ADOPTING ACCESSORY DWELLING UNIT REGULATIONS REV: 07-17-19 VR Page 3 of 7 254
