A. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), a
Supplemental Environmental Impact Report was completed for the project to assess the
potential environmental effects of the approval of the Development Plan Application, as
described in the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR). Based upon the
findings contained in that study, City staff determined that with implementation of
mitigation measures there was no substantial evidence that the Project could have a
significant effect on the environment and Notice of Determination would appropriate for
the project.

Impact Report and all comments received regarding the Supplemental Environmental
Impact Report prior to and at the October 21, 2015 public hearing, and based on the
whole record before it finds that: (1) the Supplemental Environmental Impact Report
was prepared in compliance with CEQA; (2) there is no substantial evidence that the
