$9!ie41]. The Commission has evaluated all comments, written and oral, received from persons
who have reviewed the MND. The Commission hereby finds and determines that ail public

the independent judgment of the City.
Section 4: The Commission further finds and determines that none of the circumstances listed in
CEQA Guidelines Section 15073.5 requiring recirculation of the MND are present and that it would
be appropriate to recommend adoption the MND as proposed to the Council.
section 5: The commission hereby makes, adopts, and incorporates the following findings
regarding the lack of potential environmental impacts of the project and the analysis and
conclusions set forth in the MND:
1. R-evisions in the Project plans or proposals made by or agreed to by the applicant before a
Mitigated Negative Declaration and lnitial Study was released for pubiic review and mitigation
measures set forth in the lnitial Study would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to Jpoint
where clearly no significant effects would occur.
Based upon the lnitial Study conducted for the Project, there is substantial evidence
suggest ng that all potential impacts to the environment resulting from the Project can be
mitigated to less than significant levels. Atl appropiate and feasibte mitigation has been
incorporated into the Project design. The Mitigation Monitoing and Repofthg plan containsan implementation program for each mitigation measure. After imptementation of the
mitigation contained in the MMRP, potential environmental impacts are effectively reduced to
/ess than significant levels.
2. There is no substantial evidence, in the light of the whole record before the agency including
the initial study and any comments received, that there is no substantial evidence that the
Project will have significant effect on the environment.
Pursuant to the evidence received, including comment tetters, and in the tight of the whole
record presented, the Project will not have a significant effect on the environment.
