| | | | | | | | Staff Recommendation: | Adopt an Ordinance Of The City Council Of The City Of Rocklin To Amend Title 17 Of The Rocklin Municipal Code To Update And Clarify Regulation Of Temporary Noncommercial Signs (Temporary Noncommercial Signs / ZOA2021-0002). |
|
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: | On September 14, 2021, the City Council considered the proposed Ordinance Amendment. After public comment and deliberations, the Council voted 5-0 to introduce, waive the full reading and read by title only, an Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Rocklin to amend certain sections of Title 17 of the Rocklin Municipal Code to update and clarify regulation of Temporary Noncommercial Signs. The City Council motion directed one change to the Ordinance, modifying the time such signs may be displayed from that proposed to instead begin 45 days prior to the associated event and end five days after, consistent with what is currently allowed in the code. The accompanying Ordinance has been updated to reflect this change. A second reading (title only) is necessary for the adoption and passage of the Ordinance.

| | | | | | | | Environmental Analysis: | The California Environmental Quality Act (Section 2100, et. seq. of the California Public Resources Code, hereafter CEQA) requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “projects”. A “project”, under CEQA is identified as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment.”
The proposed amendment to the Rocklin Municipal Code is not subject to review under the CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines sections 15060, subdivision (c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15061, subdivision (b)(3) (there is no possibility the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment). |
