no substantial evidence that the project will have a significant effect upon the
environment and recommends adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration and
Monitoring Program attached hereto, and incorporated herein by this reference,
based upon the findings as follows:
a. That the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as
amended,and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder;that
said Mitigated Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared
therefore reflect the independent judgment of the City Council; and,
further, this Commission has reviewed and considered the information
contained in said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the

potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife resources or the habitat
upon which wildlife depends. Further, based upon the substantial
evidence contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, the staff
reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning
Commission during the public hearing,the City Council hereby rebuts the
