Section 1:
Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"): The City Council declares

Ord No. 16-10, Adopted 08/17/10, Item 4.6 Page 1 of 3
projects that have the potential to cause a significant effect on the environment. The adoption of
this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA because the Ordinance does not, in itself, allow the
construction of any building or structure, but rather sets forth the regulations that shall be
followed if and when a parking reduction for shared parking is requested. This Ordinance of
itself has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or
ultimately.

follows:

befinreen two or more adjacent use types, the Community Development Director may
grant a reduction in off-street parking requirements (from the sum of the parking required
by each use type) in compliance with Chapter 8.102, Minor Use Permit. Reductions for
shared parking may be granted if the Community Development Director finds each of the
following standards are met:
The Minor Use Permit findings can be made.
2. A sufficient number of spaces are provided to meet the greatest parking demands
of the participating use types and to ensure that there will not be a parking
deficiency.
3. Satisfactory evidence is provided that the use types, by their natures and
operating times, will not conflict with each other.
4. Overflow parking will not adversely affect any adjacent use
5. Additional documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or other agreements as may
be deemed necessary by the Community Development Director are executed to
assure that the required parking spaces provided are maintained and that uses
with similar hours and parking requirements as those uses sharing the parking
facilities remain for the life of the documents, covenants, deed restrictions, or
other agreements.
Section 3:
Severability. In the event any section or portion of this Ordinance shall be determined invalid
or unconstitutional, such section or portion shall be deemed severable and all other sections or
portions hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

Savings Clause. All code provisions, ordinances, and parts of ordinances in conflict with the
provisions of this chapter are repealed. The provisions of this chapter, insofar as they are
substantially the same as existing code provisions relating to the same subject matter shall be

construed as restatements and continuations thereof and not as new enactments. With respect,
however, to violations, rights accrued, liabilities accrued, or appeals taken, prior to the effective
date of this ordinance, under any chapter, ordinance, or part of an ordinance shall be deemed
to remain in full force for the purpose of sustaining any proper suit, action, or other proceedings,
with respect to any such violation, right, liability or appeal.
