Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared. Thereafter, the City staff provided public notice of
the public comment period and of the intent to adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
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 recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
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
recommends the City Council adopt the Mitigation Monitoring Program for the project; and
d. The custodian of records for the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration,
Mitigation Monitoring Program and all other materials which constitute the record of proceedings
upon which the Planning Commission's recommendation is based is the Planning Director of the

9. In comparing the conceptual grading and drainage plan with the Site and Drainage Plan it is not
apparent that the entire individual drainage management areas (DMA) are intercepted and directed
to a storm water quality treatment device (BMP). Therefore the project is conditioned to clearly show
on the permitted precise grading and drainage plan any required interceptor ditches or additional
storm drain inlets/piping to direct the volume of storm water required for treatment to the appropriate
treatment device for the drainage management area. In addition, it appears that for drainage
management area H (DMA:H) that approximately half of the required storm water required to be
treated by-passes the proposed storm water treatment device, therefore the project is conditioned to
provide an interceptor ditch/v-gutter at the existing easterly driveway to intercept the required
amount of storm water to be treated and directed to the appropriate storm water treatment device
for drainage management area H. The required interceptor ditches/storm drain pipes shall be
included within the required project drainage study with hydraulic calculations.
