CEQA
COMPLIANCE: On the basis of the Initial Study, City staff has concluded that the project would not
have a significant impact on the environment and has therefore recommended
adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND). The MND reflects the
independent judgment of City staff and recognizes project design features,
previous environmental evaluations, and standard construction and engineering
practices, requiring review and reevaluation of future projects as contributing to
avoidance of potential impacts. The project site does not include any sites on an
Environmental Protection Agency hazardous waste site list pursuant to
Government Code Section 65962.5. The MND was completed and circulated for a
mandatory 30 -day public- review period that began on January 12, 2010 and
concluded on February 10, 2010.
ACTION: 1) Conduct public hearing; and
2) Adopt Resolution No. recommending City Council approve General
Plan Amendment No. GP2009 -001 and Coastal Land Use Plan Amendment
No. LC2009 -001 and adopt Mitigated Negative Declaration No. ND2010 -001,
subject to the conditions in the attached resolution (Attachment No. PC 1).
