NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. This ordinance is adopted pursuant to CalRecycle's SB 1383 Regulations. The SB 1383 Regulations were the subject of a program environmental impact report (EIR) prepared by CalRecycle, and except for provisions which maintain the already established requirements of the Waste Management Authority's Ordinance Requiring Actions to Reduce Landfilling of Recyclable and Organic Solid Wastes from Businesses, Multifamily Residences, and Self -Haulers (Ordinance 2012-1; also known as the Mandatory Recycling Ordinance ) which currently apply in Pleasanton, the activities to be carried out under this ordinance are entirely within the scope of the SB 1383 Regulations and that EIR. No mitigation measures identified in the EIR are applicable to Pleasanton's enactment of this ordinance. Moreover, none of the conditions requiring a subsequent or supplemental EIR, as described in Public Resources Code §21166 and California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines §§15162 and 15163, have occurred. The EIR therefore adequately analyzes any potential environmental effects of the ordinance and no additional environmental review is required. On a separate and independent basis, this ordinance is exempt from CEQA pursuant to §15308, Class 8 of the CEQA Guidelines as an action that will not have a significant impact on the environment and as an action taken by a regulatory agency for the protection of the environment, specifically, for the protection of the climate. There are no unusual circumstances that would cause this ordinance to have a significant effect on the environment. SECTION 2.
