Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 44 of 46 penalties or procedures provided by law, nor is exhaustion of remedies under this section a prerequisite to the assertion of any other such right. Section 4. The City Council finds and determines that this Ordinance is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, as there is no possibility it will have a significant effect on the environment and it is not a "project," as defined in section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines. Furthermore, the proposed Ordinance falls within the “common sense” CEQA” exemption set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3), excluding projects where “it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment.” Section 5. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decision of any court of competent jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby declares that it would have adopted this Ordinance and each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion thereof irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional. Section 6. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption. Section 7. The Clerk of the Council shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance and cause the same to be published in the manner prescribed by law. EXHIBIT 2
