Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in said Mitigated Negative
Declaration with regard to the application.

which wildlife depends. Further, based upon substantial evidence contained in the Negative
Declaration, the staff reports and exhibits, and the information provided to the Planning Commission
during the public hearing, the Planning Commission 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.
