a. That the Negative Declaration has been prepared in compliance

prepared therefore reflect the independent judgment of the City

effect will result if this amendment is approved.

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 depends.
Further, based upon the 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
