Following close of the public comment period on November 29, 2004, a document was prepared formally responding to all comments received, making minor clarifications to the Draft EIR and proposing a written mitigation monitoring plan. The Draft EIR and this supplemental document together comprise the Final EIR for this project. E. All attached documents, including the Final EIR, the mitigation monitoring plan, the 30+ pages of findings and approvals, the Request for Council Action, and the record of proceedings are incorporated herein by this reference as though fully set forth. This resolution incorporates by reference, as though fully set forth herein, the ordinance and resolutions referenced above and said Final Environmental Impact Report, Mitigation Monitoring Program, and Statement of Overriding Considerations, and all of their respective facts, findings and conclusions in support of this resolution and the findings made herein. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR prepared with respect to this Project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration of the record as a whole and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, the Final EIR meets all requirement of CEQA, including but limited to: finding that the Final EIR adequately addresses the impacts of the project; that it identifies and through the mitigation monitoring plan imposes all feasible mitigation measures which will reduce all of the significant environmental impacts of the Project to a level of insignificance, except those unavoidable impacts described more specifically in the statement of overriding considerations; discusses a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project; identifies the environmentally superior alternative; and based upon all of which and the record as a whole the Council chooses to approve the Project. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the Final EIR, the mitigation monitoring plan, the facts, findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations attached to this Resolution as Exhibits "A" and "B" respectively and incorporated herein by this reference, and directs that a Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. Section 3. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") 9 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project will have the potential for any adverse effect on wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. Therefore, pursuant to Fish and Game Code 9 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR 9 735.5, the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project.
