with the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, ~3s amended,
and the State CEQA guidelines promulgated thereunder; that said
Negative Declaration and the Initial Study prepared therefore reflect
the independent judgment of the City Council; and, further, this

said Negative Declaration with regard to the applicatior~.

incorporated into the proposed project, no significant adverse

California Code of Regulations, the City Council finds as follows: In
considering the record as a whole, the Initial Study and Negative

project will have potential for an adverse impact upon wildlife
resources or the habitat upon which wildlife depends. Further, based
upon 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 here13y rebuts the
presumption of adverse effect as set forth in Section 7,~;3.5(c-l-d) of
