FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL OF A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION:
1. An Initial Study was prepared and demonstrated that there is no substantial evidence that
supports a fair argument that the project, as conditioned, would have a significant effect
on the environment.
2. The project does not have the potential to affect wildlife resources as defined in the- State
Fish and Game Code, either individually or cumulatively, and is exempt from Fish and
Game filing fees because i is proposed on a small undeveloped site surrounded by
development with none of the resources as defined in the Code.
3. The project is not located on a site listed on any Hazardous Waste Site List compiled by
the State pursuant to Section 65962.5 of the Califarnia Government Code.

before making a recommendation on the project.

adopted mitigation measures.
