E. Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2003-03 has been filed to amend the Specific Development District 60 (SD-60). Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the negative declaration and the Addendum for Environmental Review No. 2003-149 prepared with respect to this Project. It is determined that, as required pursuant to the Califomia Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a negative declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative declaration and the Addendum and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law.
