Zoning Ordinance Amendment No. 2003 -03 has been filed to amend the <br />Specific Development District 60 (SD -60). <br />Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information <br />contained in the negative declaration and the Addendum for Environmental Review <br />No. 2003 -149 prepared with respect to this Project. It is determined that, as required <br />pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA ") and the State CEQA <br />Guidelines, a negative declaration adequately addresses the expected environmental <br />impacts of this Project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no <br />evidence from which it can be fairly argued that the project will have a significant adverse <br />effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the negative <br />declaration and the Addendum and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared <br />and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. <br />ordinance No. NS -2650 <br />Page 2 of 24 <br />8 -144 <br />
