The City Council finds that the Final EIR although identifies certain significant environmental effects that will result if the project is approved, all significant effects that can feasibly be mitigated or avoided have been avoided or mitigated by the imposition of mitigation measures as set forth in the Mitigation Measures attached hereto marked Exhibit "E" and incorporated herein by this reference. 6.
