Ordinance No. NS - ____ Page 5 of 7 substantially similar results to dissolving or rendering ineffective, the Rental Registry Fee, without approval of at least a supermajority (5/7) of all members of the City Council. Section 9. Subsection (g) is added to Section 8-3180 (Rental Housing Board) of Division 5 (Rental Housing Board) of Article XIX (Rent Stabilization and Just Cause Eviction Ordinance) of Chapter 8 (Buildings and Structures) of the Santa Ana Municipal Code as follows: (g)Dissolution of the Rental Housing Board. The Santa Ana City Council shall not dissolve, render ineffective, or take other action which may have the same or substantially similar results to dissolving or rendering ineffective, the Rental Housing Board, without approval of at least a supermajority (5/7) of all members of the City Council. Section 10. 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 11. 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 12. This Ordinance shall become effective thirty (30) days after its adoption. Section 13. 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.
