and was certified and adopted on July 19, 1991 and the additional Mitigated Negative

' environmental assessment for Case No. 5.0932 - PD-280 adequately address the general
environmental setting of the proposed Project, its significant environmental impacts, and
the alternatives and mitigation measures related to each significant environmental effect
for the proposed project. The City Council has independently reviewed and considered the
Specific Plan #1 Amendments and determined that the plans are in conformance with the
information contained in the certified Final Environmental Impact Report and Mitigated
Negative Declarations. The City Council further finds that with the incorporation of
proposed mitigation measures, potentially significant environmental impacts resulting from
this project will be reduced to a level of insignificance and therefore recommends adoption
