Plan; and
d. That the proposed design, together with the conditions applicable thereto,
will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially

4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Mitigated
Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral staff reports included
for the environmental assessment for the application, the City Council finds
that there is 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 Planning Commission; and, further, this
Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in
said Mitigated Negative Declaration with regard to the application.
b. Although the Mitigated Negative Declaration identifies certain significant
environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all
significant effects have been reduced to an acceptable level by imposition
of mitigation measures on the project, which are listed below as
Conditions of Approval.
c. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California
Code of Regulations, the Planning Commission finds as follows: In
considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Mitigated
Negative Declaration for the project, there is no evidence that the
proposed project will have 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 City Council during the meeting, the City Council hereby rebuts the
presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-1-d) of Title
14 of the California Code of Regulations.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and
4 above, this Council hereby approves the application subject to each and
