(c) Resolution No. 7413 also rescinded restrictions on
city owned or leased parking lots in the Downtown District which

SECTION 3. The Council of the city of Palo Alto finds that
this project qualified for a Class 1 Categorical Exemption under
CEQA guidelines (Section 15301 --Existing Facilities) and procedures
adopted by the City of Palo Alto, and therefore no further
environmental assessment is necessary.
SECTION 4. The effective date of this resolution and the
parking restrictions for city parking lots in the Downtown District
approved and adopted hereby shall be March 16, 1996, in order to
provide continuity between the initial trial period of such
restrictions and the reenacted restrictions adopted by this

parking restrictions on city lots extended by this resolution shall
terminate on March 16, 1997, unless otherwise extended or modified
