A. The City Council of the City of Rosemead wishes to promote the City of Rosemead's
interest in protecting and preserving the quality and character of the residential, commercial, and
industrial areas in the City, and the quality of life through effective land use planning; and
B. It is the purpose and intent of the Ordinance to provide for the reasonable and uniform
regulation of parking standards for home and business uses in the City of Rosemead. It is
recognized that such parking standards are appropriate for the Commercial, Industrial and
Residential Zoning Districts. It is therefore the purpose of this Ordinance to establish minimum
parking requirements which in turn will protect the public health, safety, and welfare, minimize
the potential adverse impacts related to parking demand, and maintain local property values; and
C. The City staff has prepared an initial study pursuant to the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA). This study has determined that the proposed zoning amendments will not
have any adverse impact on the environment, and accordingly has prepared and recommends
adoption of Negative Declaration.
SECTION 2. Pursuant to the City of Rosemead's CEQA Procedures and State CEQA
Guidelines, it has been determined that the adoption of this ordinance will not have a significant
impact on the environment. This conclusion is based upon the record, initial study and
comments received during the pubic review period. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been
prepared according to CEQA. The City Council, having final approval authority over this
project, has reviewed and considered any comments received during the public review prior to
the approval of this project. Furthermore, the City Council has exercised its own independent
judgment in reaching the above conclusion. The City Council, therefore, approves the Negative
Declaration.
i
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulation, Section 753.5(v)(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 adverse effect on the wildlife resources or the habitat upon
which the wildlife depends. Furthermore, on the basis of substantial evidence, the City Council
hereby finds any presumption of adverse impact has been adequately rebutted. Therefore,
pursuant to Fish and Game Code Section 711.2 and Title XIV, California Code of Regulations,
Section 735.5(a)(3), the City Council finds that the project has a de minimis impact and therefore
the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this
project.

• validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance. The City Council of the City of Rosemead
