The Ordinance revises the requirements for granting a residential density bonus to comply with revisions to State law enacted by the Legislature through the adoption of Senate Bill 1818. Adoption of the draft density bonus codifies allowances that developers have been able to use in housing developments since 2003. Further, the revisions modify the criteria and incentives offered to qualifying developments but do not authorize construction not already permitted under the City's existing codes. Also, it is uncertain how many project applicants will seek to utilize the provisions of State law and this Ordinance and where such projects might be located in the City. Further, each individual project will be subject to its own environmental review. Consequently, this ordinance is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations since it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility the adoption and implementation of this Ordinance may have a significant effect on the environment. Terry Nagel, May6r I, Mary Ellen Kearney, City Clerk of the City of Burlingame, do hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was introduced and adopted at a regular meeting of the City Council held on the 20th day of January, 2015, by the following vote: AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: KEIGHRAN,NAGEL, ORTIZ, ROOT NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: NONE ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS:BROWNRI G Mary Ellen Kearney, City Clerk
