09/23/2013 WHEREAS, on September 9, 2013, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on this Zoning Text Amendment that provides for the ability to adopt alternative PC permit procedures and findings for property that is subject to a precise plan and a development agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY AS FOLLOWS: 1. The recitals set forth above are true and correct, and are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth in their entirety. 2. The City Council hereby finds that this proposed Zoning Text Amendment does not have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment as it provides only for the ability of the City to adopt alternative procedures and findings for PC permits in limited circumstances and does not dictate the content of those procedures and findings. At such time as the City considers particular projects and alternative procedures and findings, the City will conduct CEQA review on the project, including the applicable precise plan and subsequent PC permits. Therefore, this proposed Zoning Text Amendment is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, in that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility for the amendment to have a significant effect on the environment. 3. The City Council, having considered the evidence received at the public hearing duly noticed and held for said proposed rezoning, finds that the proposed Zoning Text Amendment is consistent with the Redwood City General Plan. 4. The City Council adds the following language to the end of section 52.7 of Article 52 of the Redwood City Zoning Ordinance: "Nofinrithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that a Development Agreement is approved for property within a P District, the City may approve alternative procedures and findings for a PC permit on such property, which shall be as set forth in the applicable Precise Plan." 5. This Ordinance is effective thirty (30) days following its adoption. * * * ATTY/ORD.395/ARTICLE 52 ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT ORD.#1130-361 REV:08-29-13 VR Formerly MUFF#100 Page 2 of 2
