Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are <br />hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. <br /> <br />Section 2. Findings. In accordance with all requirements of Article 49 of the <br />Zoning Code, the City Council hereby finds that the proposed Zoning Map Amendments <br />are in the public interest, are consistent with the Redwood City General Plan, and <br />increase the quality of the provisions of the Zoning Code in guiding and regulating the <br />future development, growth, and evolution of Redwood City. <br /> <br />Section 3. Compliance with CEQA. The proposed Zoning Code Amendments <br />have been reviewed with respect to applicability of the California Environmental Quality <br />Act (“CEQA”) and the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, <br />Sections 15000 et seq.). Pursuant to Government Code Section 65912.160(c)(2), an <br />ordinance enacted to make a local zoning code consistent with SB 79 shall not be <br />considered a project under CEQA and therefore no environmental analysis is needed. <br /> <br />Section 4.

The City Council of the City of Redwood City hereby adopts <br />an Ordinance to amend the Zoning Map as provided in Exhibit “B” attached hereto and <br />incorporated by reference. <br /> <br />Section 5. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of <br />this ordinance is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, <br />such a decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this ordinance. <br />The City Council of the City of Redwood City hereby declares that it would have passed <br />this ordinance and each section or subsection, sentence, clause and phrase thereof, <br />irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or <br />phrases be declared invalid. <br />8.A. - Page 43 of 97 <br />261
