strengthen the City's economic base and offer a range of enterprises that
serve the needs of the residents and visitors.
2. The effects this project is likely to have upon the housing needs of the
region, the public service requirements of its residents and the available
fiscal and environmental resources have been considered and balanced.
The City has considered the need for day-to-day shopping, which includes
convenience goods, food and personal services, in contrast to the impacts
related to the project's implementation and has determined that there are
overriding considerations that outweigh the one (1) unavoidable
significant impact (air quality).
3. Subject to the attached conditions of approval, the proposed project is
not anticipated to result in any significant environmental impact.
The project has been adequately conditioned by all applicable departments
and agencies and will not therefore result in any significant environmental

protect all the City's legal rights. He noted that he suspected this project would
go through; and there were many alternatives that could improve conditions for

hang gliding community and fire protection. He indicated that the Water
District would not want to increase their costs. He expressed his concerns with -
securing water from legal capturing in case of a major drought.
