will have a significant effect upon the environment and recommends adoption of a Mitigated
Negative Declaration and the 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

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.

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
