Recommendation:

(1)
      Find that the Polystyrene Food Packaging Ordinance is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3) (General Rule) and also under Section 15308 as an action by a regulatory agency (the City of Pasadena) for the protection of the environment; and
(2)
      Direct the City Attorney to draft the Polystyrene Food Packaging Ordinance, to reduce and prevent polystyrene food packaging in the environment and promote environmentally sustainable practices in the City, within 60 days consistent with the provisions set forth in the agenda report.
Recommendation of the Municipal Services Committee
:
On December 8, 2015, staff presented the draft Polystyrene Ordinance to the Municipal Services Committee (MSC) and was directed to further explore the potential economic impacts on restaurants, especially small businesses that may be using polystyrene packaging, and the cumulative impacts of the pending minimum wage increase and the Affordable Care Act.

On April 26, 2016, staff returned to MSC with the requested additional information. MSC acknowledged the importance of an education and outreach campaign to the success of the ordinance and recommended that it be comprehensive in including residents as well as business owners. MSC voted to approve the Polystyrene Food Packaging Ordinance.

Recommendation of the Environmental Advisory Commission: On October 20, 2015, Department of Public Works staff presented the draft Polystyrene Food Packaging Ordinance to the Environmental Advisory Commission (EAC). The EAC recommended some minor language edits (that were incorporated by staff) and voted unanimously to recommend that City Council approve the draft Polystyrene Food Packaging Ordinance.
