The City Council hereby finds that the proposed Zoning <br />Ordinance Amendments are in the public interest and consistent with the Redwood City <br />General Plan. <br /> <br />Section 3. Adoption of Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Redwood City <br />hereby adopts the Zoning Ordinance Amendments as provided in Exhibit “A”, attached hereto <br />and incorporated by reference, by: (a) deleting Article 37 (Accessory Dwelling Units) in its <br />entirety and replacing it with the text shown therein, and (b) amending Articles 31, 33, 36, 45 <br />and 48 by adding the text shown in underline (example) and deleting the text shown in <br />strikeout (example). Wording in brackets ([example]) is informational only and is not to be <br />included in the published ordinance. <br /> <br />Section 4. Compliance with CEQA. The proposed Zoning Ordinance Amendments <br />have been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality Act <br />(CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Sections <br />15000 et seq.). Adoption of an ordinance regarding accessory dwelling units in a single-family <br />or multifamily residential zone to implement the provisions of Government Code is an action <br />that is exempt from the provisions of CEQA under Public Resources Code Section 21080.17 <br />and CEQA Guidelines Section 15282(h). The remaining amendments have been evaluated <br />and found to not have an impact on the environment under CEQA Guidelines Section <br />15061(b)(3) as it can be seen with certainty that they will not have an impact on the <br />environment, as described in the staff report. <br /> <br />Section 5. Severability. The City Council hereby declares every section, <br />paragraph, sentence, cause and phrase is severable. If any section, paragraph, sentence, <br />clause or phrase of this ordinance is for any reason found to be invalid or unconstitutional, <br />such invalidity, or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the <br />remaining sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases. <br /> <br />Section 6. Applicability. The Zoning Ordinance Amendments shall not apply to <br />building permit applications that are submitted prior to the Zoning Ordinance Amendments’
