Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 21-0006.

City Council made a determination of exemption under CEQA, and introduced Ordinance No. 21-0006, on a 5-0 vote. At this time, staff recommends that the City Council conduct second reading and adopt Ordinance No. 21-0006. A summary of the ordinance was published in accordance with state law.
