OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE (ZONING ORDINANCE) PA99-018
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
WHEREAS, the City of Dublin has determined that the Parking Regulations of the Dublin
Municipal Code (Chapter 8.76) must be revised to more effectively regulate parking within the City; and
WHEREAS, On August 18, 1997, the City Council adopted Resolution 103-97 finding that the
Comprehensive Revision to the Zoning Ordinance, including Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading
Regulations, is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It can be seen with
certainty that there is no possibility tl~at revising the Zoning Ordinance in this manner would have a
significant effect on the environment (Section 15061(b)(3). Various changes to the Off-Street Parking and
Loading Regulations are proposed which would not increase or create environmental impacts. These
changes will have no environmental impacts and are also exempt from the.California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that such amendments would
have a significant effect on the environment; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a properly noticed pubic hearing on this project on
November 9, 1999 and did adopt Resolution 99-32 recommending that the City Council approve an
amendment to Chapter 8.76, Off-Street Parking and Loading Regulations of the Municipal Code; and
