Section 9. No Superstore which is legally operating in the city as of the effective date of this ordinance shall be affected by the adoption of this ordinance, unless it loses its legal nonconforming status pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of Chapter 41 of the Code. Section 10. 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 negative declaration for Environmental Review No. 2006-74 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") S 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 S 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR S 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. 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 anyone or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
