Body
SUMMARY
Section 10.08.110 of the Chula Vista Municipal Code (CVMC) establishes holidays for purposes of operating and enforcing parking meters and zones. The list of holidays was last updated in 1995 to add Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. An ordinance amending CVMC Section 10.08.110 to replace Columbus Day with Cesar Chavez Day and to add the day after Thanksgiving is recommended. Repeal of an outdated City Council Policy relating to legal holidays is also recommended.

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity, amending the municipal code relating to the definition of holidays for parking meters and zones, is not a "Project" as defined under Section 15378(b)(5) of the State CEQA Guidelines because it is an administrative activity of government; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA.

BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not Applicable.
