NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby ordain as follows: SECTION 1: The City Council finds that this Ordinance is consistent with the Dublin General Plan and all applicable Specific Plans in that the General Plan and applicable Specific Plans include policies that encourage the development of a variety of housing types including multi-family housing and the proposed amendments make provisions to facilitate the on-going enjoyment of residential properties by maintaining adequate parking standards and regulations. 1 of 5 EXHIBIT A TO ATTACHMENT 2 SECTION 2: Compliance with California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"): The City Council declares this Ordinance is exempt from CEQA per CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3). Section 15061(b)(3) states that CEQA applies only to those 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 it sets forth the regulations that shall be followed if and when a building or structure is proposed to be constructed or a site is proposed to be developed. This Ordinance of itself, therefore, has no potential for resulting in significant physical change in the environment, directly or ultimately.
