Based upon substantial evidence presented to this Council during the above- referenced public hearing on May 17, 1995, including written and oral staff reports, together with public testimony, this Council hereby specifically finds as follows: a. The proposed revision and amendment of the Housing Element will not have a significant impact on the environment as evidenced by the conclusions and findings of the Initial Study Part II; and b. The proposed Housing Element Amendment is in substantial conformance with the provisions of Article 10.6 of the California Government Code as evidenced by the revisions made to the document at the request of the State Department of Housing and Community Development; and Resolution No. 95-081 Page 2 c. The proposed Housing Element is consistent with the other elements of the General Plan as provided through the organization and construction of the General Plan into super elements in which the goal, objectives, and policies contained in these elements are interrelated and dependent upon one another, and as a result of the recent technical update to the General Plan adopted January 4, 1989; and d. The proposed amendment furthers the attainment of the City's overall housing goal through the development and implementation of the five-year action program and quantified objectives which promote the preservation, maintenance, and development of housing opportunities for all economic segments of the community. 3.

That the proposed Housing Element Amendment is in conformance with the General Plan. b. That the proposed Housing Element Amendment will not have significant impacts on the environment. c. That the proposed Housing Element Amendment is in substantial compliance with the provisions of Article 10.6 of the California Government Code. 4. Based upon the facts and information contained in the proposed Negative Declaration, together with all written and oral 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 Negative Declaration based upon the findings as follows: a. That the 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 Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the Planning Council; and, further, this Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Negative Declaration with regard to the application. b. That, based upon the requirements and regulations which have been incorporated into the proposed project, no significant adverse environmental effects will occur. c. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 753.5(c) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, the City Council finds as follows: In considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and 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 Resolution No. 95-081 Page 3 depends. Further, based upon substantial evidence contained in the Negative Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the City Council during the public hearing, the City Council hereby rebuts the presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 753.5(c-l-d) of Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. 5.
