E. On August 13, 2018, Notice of Intent to adopt the Initial Study and Mitigated <br />Negative Declaration, Environmental Review No. 2016-156 was published in <br />the OC Register newspaper, circulated to interested parties, and the State <br />Clearinghouse. <br />F. The documents related to the Mitigated Negative Declaration were made <br />available for a 30-day public review and comment period at the Santa Ana <br />City Hall, the Main Library, and on the project webpage on the City’s <br />website. <br />G. Comments received were addressed in a Response to Comments <br />document that provides sufficient information to demonstrate that the <br />environmental conclusions and mitigation measures remain valid as <br />disclosed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration. <br />H. The mitigation measures set forth in Mitigated Negative Declaration are fully <br />enforceable and will be implemented using the Mitigation Monitoring and <br />Reporting Program attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by <br />reference. <br />I. On October 8, 2018, the Planning Commission of the City of Santa Ana held <br />a duly noticed public hearing and voted to recommend that the City Council <br />approve a resolution to adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration, Environmental <br />Review No. 2016-156 and the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting <br />Program for the project. <br />J. On October 16, 2018, the City Council of the City of Santa Ana held a duly <br />noticed public hearing to consider all testimony, written and oral, related to <br />Mitigated Negative Declaration, Environmental Review No. 2016-156, and <br />the related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the project, at <br />which time all persons wishing to testify were heard, the project was fully <br />considered, and all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this <br />Resolution occurred. <br />Section 2. The City Council has independently reviewed and analyzed the <br />information contained in the Initial Study and the Mitigated Negative Declaration, <br />Environmental Review No. 2016-156, 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 substantial evidence from which it can be fairly argued that <br />the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. <br />Section 3. The City Council hereby adopts and approves the MND and adopts <br />the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and directs that the Notice of <br />Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in <br />DRAFT <br />3-12
