Section 2. The Planning Commission has independently reviewed and analyzed the information contained in the Initial Study and the Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), Environmental Review No. 2018-75, prepared with respect to this project. The MND and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program are included as Attachment 13 to the Request for Planning Commission Action for the project dated May 13, 2019. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15074(a), the Planning Commission considered the analysis and conclusion of the MND as well as the mitigations outlined in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program. The Planning Commission recommends, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, that the City Council determine that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, the MND adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the Planning Commission recommends that the City Council find that there is no substantial evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment and the MND reflects the independent judgment and analysis of the City Council.
