03. This recommendation is based upon the evidence submitted at the above said
<br />hearing, which includes, but is not limited to: The Request for Planning Commission
<br />Action dated May 13, 2019 and exhibits attached thereto; and the public testimony, all
<br />of which are incorporated herein by this reference.
<br />Section 3. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information
<br />contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration (MND),
<br />Environmental Review No. 2015-14, prepared with respect to this project. The City
<br />Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings
<br />on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental
<br />Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, the MND adequately addresses
<br />the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City
<br />Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project
<br />will have a significant adverse effect on the environment.
<br />Section 4. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana after conducting the
<br />public hearing hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 2017-03. The

<br />based upon the evidence submitted at the above said hearing, which includes, but is not
<br />limited to: the Request for Council Action dated June 4, 2019, and exhibits attached
<br />hereto; and the public testimony, written and oral, all of which are incorporated herein
<br />by this reference.
