Section 4. A full and fair public hearing having been held on the EIR as stated in the recitals herein, the City Council hereby approves and certifies the EIR, as presented at the joint public hearing and as on file with the Commission Secretary and incorporated herein by this reference, and, the City Council hereby certifies that the EIR. has been completed in compliance with CEQA and that the EIR has been reviewed and considered by the City Council prior to and for the purpose of determining whether to approve the Redevelopment Plan.

Page 3 of 5 The City Council further finds that changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into, the Redevelopment Plan, or mitigation measures have been adopted, which avoid or substantially lessen the significant environmental effects as identified in the EIR. The Redevelopment Plan is itself a measure for providing for the mitigation of adverse environmental effects which may otherwise be associated with existing conditions within the Project Area or such development which may occur within the Project Area without redevelopment assistance. As a result of the foregoing, including the mitigation measures set forth in the EIR, the City Council hereby determines that the implementation of the Redevelopment Plan will not have a significant effect on the environment in view of the elimination or substantial reduction of possible environmental effects, as otherwise set forth in the. EIR. To the extent that there are any remaining significant effects upon the environment, the City Council hereby determines such effects are unavoidable and acceptable because the benefits of the adoption of the Redevelopment Plan outweigh any such adverse environmental effects, in that the redevelopment of the Project Area and the elimination of blight therein pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 33000, et sea., will generally create a better living and working environment for the Project Area and the community. Section 5. The City Council authorizes the filing of a Notice of Determination by the Secretary of the Commission with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Sonoma on June 21 or as soon thereafter as possible.
