Page 1 of 3
SECTION 1 . Based on the entire record before the City Council, all written and
oral evidence presented to the Council, and the findings set forth in this Resolution, the
Council hereby adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and
Reporting Plan to allow the construction of the above-referenced project on the Subject Site,
subject to the mitigation measures contained in the Initial Study and Mitigation Monitoring
and Reporting Plan for the Project.
SECTION 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the environmental
documentation for the project prior to taking action. Based on the analysis contained in the
Initial Study ad the accompanying environmental information, the Council finds as follows:
A. There is no substantial evidence of potentially significant environmental impacts and a
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared.
B. The City has complied with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
C. The action by the City Council to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the
independent judgment of the City.
SECTION 3. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written
and oral evidence presented, including the staff report, the Council hereby finds that:
A. The project is consistent with the General Plan objectives, policies and programs.
B. The project will not adversely affect the public health, safety, and welfare.
C. The project will not adversely affect the environment.
D. The nature and extent of the installation of Line H segment Master Drainage Plan
improvements is reasonably related to public needs and roughly proportional to the
impacts created by use of the Subject Site.
SECTION 4. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written
and oral evidence presented, the Council finds the installation of Line H segment Master
Drainage Plan improvements complies with CEQA for the following reason:
Although the proposed project could have a significant effect on
the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case
because revisions in the project or mitigation measures
incorporated into the conditions of approval for the project would
avoid the effects and no significant effects would occur; therefore,
A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION has been prepared for
adoption by the City Council. City Staff is directed to file a Notice
of Determination within 5 days of adoption by the City Council.
SECTION 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall become effective on the
date on which it is approved by the City Council.
