imposition of mitigation measures, there would be no substantial evidence that the project would have
a significant effect on the environment. Based on that determination, a Mitigated Negative
Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, City staff provided public notice of the public comment period
and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration.
b. The Planning Commission has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration and all
comments received regarding the Mitigated Negative Declaration and, based on the whole record
before it, finds: (i) that the Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared in compliance with CEQA;
and (ii) that, based on the imposition of mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect on the environment. The Planning Commission further finds that
the Mitigated Negative Declaration reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the Planning
Commission. Based on these findings, the Planning Commission hereby adopts the Mitigated
Negative Declaration.
C. The Planning Commission has also reviewed and considered the Mitigation
Monitoring Program for the project that has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of Public
Resources Code Section 21081.6 and finds that such Program is designed to ensure compliance with
the mitigation measures during project implementation. The Planning Commission therefore adopts
the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project.
