Subsection A (Application Filing Time) of Section 7.50.020 (Procedure) of Chapter 7.50 (Special Events) of Title 7 (Public Peace, Morals, and Welfare) of the Seal Beach Municipal Code is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: "A. Application Filing Time. An application for a special event permit, along with an application fee in an amount established by city council resolution, shall be filed as follows: 1. At least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed special event where anticipated attendance is less than 100 persons; and 2. At least 45 days prior to the date of the proposed special event where anticipated attendance is 100 or more persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the director may accept a special event permit application filed less than 30 days in advance when anticipated attendance at the special event is less than 100 persons and proposed to be conducted in a city parka and the director determines that there is adequate time for review of the application." Section 2. California Environmental Quality Act Exemption. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), the Community Development Department has determined that the proposed Municipal Code amendment is exempt from environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act, (California Public Resources Code §§ 21000, et seq., ("CEQA") and the CEQA Guidelines (14 California Code of Regulations §§ 15000, et seq.) because the amendment consists only of minor revisions to existing specification of procedures related to special events. The amendment, therefore, is exempt from the requirements of CEQA under CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(3), because it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment. 1 Section 3. Savings Clause.
