Section 4: The LCP and Title 21, including LCP Amendment No. LC2020-002,
shall be carried out in full conformance with the California Coastal Act.
Section 5: The recitals provided in this ordinance are true and correct and are
incorporated into the substantive portion of this ordinance.
Section 6: If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of this
ordinance is for any reason held to be invalid or unconstitutional, such decision shall not
affect the validity or constitutionality of the remaining portions of this ordinance. The
City Council hereby declares that it would have passed this ordinance and each section,
subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
unconstitutional.
Section 7: The City Council finds LCP Amendment No. LC2020-002 is not
subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") pursuant to Section
15061(b)(3), of Title 14, Division 6, Chapter 3 of the California Code of Regulations
("CEQA Guidelines"), the general rule that CEQA applies only to projects, which have
the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. LCP Amendment No.
LC2020-002 would allow tattoo establishments as a permitted use within the City. LCP
Amendment No. LC2020-002 does not authorize new development that would directly
result in physical changes to the environment. There is no evidence that amending the
regulations for tattoo establishments would result in any new effects on the environment.
Additionally, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15265(a)(1), local governments are
exempt from the requirements of CEQA in connection with the adoption of a LCP.
Section 8: Except as expressly modified in this ordinance, all other sections,
subsections, terms, clauses and phrases set forth in the NBMC shall remain unchanged
and shall be in full force and effect.
Section 9: The Mayor shall sign and the City Clerk shall attest to the passage
of this ordinance. The City Clerk shall cause the ordinance, or a summary thereof, to be
published pursuant to City Charter Section 414.
