Section 3. The City Council hereby finds that it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the
adoption of this Ordinance, and the zoning provisions established hereby, may have a significant effect on the
environment, because the Ordinance involves the keeping of a limited number of livestock animals in a single
land use zone and on parcels sufficient in size to avoid impacting neighboring uses. The small number of animals
is consistent with the existing limits in other zoning districts. This Ordinance does not otherwise permit
development within the City. It is therefore not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act review
pursuant to Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15061(b)(3) of the California Code of Regulations.
Section 4. Severability. The City Council declares that, should any provision, section, paragraph, sentence,
or word of this Ordinance be rendered or declared invalid by any final court action in a court of competent
jurisdiction, or by reason of any preemptive legislation, the remaining provisions, sections, paragraphs,
sentences and words of this Ordinance shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 5. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this Ordinance.
