19.       PUBLIC HEARING: EXTENSION TO URGENCY ORDINANCE NO. 7229 OF THE CITY OF PASADENA TEMPORARILY PROHIBITING THE APPROVAL OF NEW RECYCLING FACILITIES, THE EXPANSION OR MODIFICATION OF EXISTING FACILITIES, AND THE RESUMPTION OF DISCONTINUED LEGAL NONCONFORMING STATUS FOR RECYCLING CENTERS (See Item No. 21)
Recommendation

(1)       Find that the proposed extension of the interim ordinance is categorically exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines, Section 15060 (C)(2) and 15262 because the interim ordinance will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment and because the project involves only feasibility or planning studies for possible future actions which the City has not approved, adopted, or funded, and does not involve adoption of a plan that will have a legally binding effect on later activities;
(2)       Find that (a) there is a current and immediate threat to public health, safety and welfare because continued approval of new, the expansion or modification of existing, and the resumption of discontinued legal nonconforming status recycling facilities would have adverse impacts on the public health, safety, or welfare pursuant to the standards and policies set forth in the General Plan, and (b) the proposed interim ordinance is necessary to avoid these adverse impacts; and
