26 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Petaluma City Council hereby
27 approves the Mitigated Negative Declaration subject to the following findings and
28 mitigation measures:

30 Mitigated Negative Declaration Findings:
31
32 1. A Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) was prepared and certified by the
33 City Council in conjunction with the annexation of this property. The FEIR
34 adequately addresses environmental effects of the project. However, this project
35 for the development of fourteen single-family lots introduces new information
36 regarding the project's potential environmental impacts. Therefore, pursuant to
37 Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City Council finds that the FEIR is
38 adequate, but that the Initial Study prepared for the project is adequate for
39 identifying and establishing additional mitigation measures to address the new
4o project specific impacts.
41
42 2. An Initial Study has been prepared and proper notice provided in accordance with
a3 CEQA and local environmental guidelines.
44
as 3. Based upon the Initial Study and comments received, potential environmental
a6 impacts due to grading, as well as impacts on plant life, views, aesthetics and
47 traffic, will be avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance by requiring the
a8 following mitigation measures as conditions of approval. There is no substantial
49 evidence that the project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect on the
5o environment.

1 4. A monitoring program has been included with the mitigations, where applicable, to
2 ensure compliance with the adopted mitigation measures.
3
a 5. An Initial Study has been conducted by this lead agency, which has evaluated the
5 potential for this project to cause an adverse effect either individually of
6 cumulatively on wildlife resources. For this purpose, wildlife is defined as "all
7 wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities,
s including the habitat upon which the wildlife depends for its continued viability."
9 (Section 711.2, Fish and Game Code). The project does not have potential to
to adversely affect wildlife resources as defined in the Fish and Game code, either
11 individually or cumulatively because the necessary improvements within Kelly
12 Creek, as mitigated,. will not have the potential to cause significant adverse effects
13 on lands which support fish and wildlife.
