The Planning Commission has, as a result of its consideration 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, a mitigation negative declaration and mitigation monitoring program adequately addresses the Resolution No. 2002-36 Page 2 of 5 • 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 mitigation 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.

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.
