The Planning Commission has held study sessions on this ordinance, and following a duly noticed public hearing held on April 23, 2001, recommended that the city council adopt the same. Section 2: The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and the negative declaration prepared with respect to this Ordinance. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a Negative Declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Ordinance. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative declaration and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR")§ 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have the potential for any adverse effect on wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR§ 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 3: Section 8-120, "Efficiency dwelling units" is deleted in its entirety from the Code for the reason that after the amendment necessitated by this ordinance the remainder of this section will exactly tract the California Building Code. For tracking purposes only, that provision in its current form is reprinted below, with strikeout showing the portion that is not already incorporated by law as part of the California Building Code: Sec. 8-120. Efficiency dwelling units (Volume '1, Section 310.7). Section 310.7 of Volume 1 of the building code is amended to read as follows: 310.7 Efficiency Dwelling Units. An efficiency dwelling unit shall conform to the requirements of the code except as herein provided: 1. The unit shall have a living room of not less than 220 square feet (20 4m 2) of superficial floor area; c×cc~t *~'"* ~ ...... ~""~" · . .......... , .... =.~ rccm cccupcnc:,' hctcl gra ~- ............~. ................... .... ;, .... ;¢,, ,4 .... , ..... ~ "'"" An additional 100 square feet (9.3m2 ) of Ordinance No. NS-2471 Page 3 of 10
