• required for the economic viability of the project, as well as for compliance with the City's regulations. 3. That the granting of a variance will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property. The project will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to surrounding property as proposed. It is anticipated that the project will enhance the economic stability of the area by redeveloping a site that is currently outdated with a new building that will provide service and retail activity to serve the local area. In addition the relocation of the driveways will provide an improved traffic flow and ingress and egress to the site, once Main Street and Sunflower Avenue reach their future potential width. 4. That the granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City. The granting of the variance will not adversely affect the General Plan of the City since the proposed multi-tenant retail center has been designed in conformance with the City zoning, development and General Plan requirements. Section 2. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the • information contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program prepared with respect to this Project. As a result of this consideration and the evidence presented at the hearing on this matter, the Planning Commission has determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and the State CEQA Guidelines, a mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the Planning Commission 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 Planning Commission hereby certifies and approves the mitigated negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program 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. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations ("CCR") § 735.5(c)(1), the Planning Commission 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 § 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR § 735.5(a)(3), the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees is not required in conjunction with this project. Section 3. The Planning Commission hereby approves Variance No. 2003-05 as • conditioned in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. Resolution No. 2003-37 Page 2 of 3
