Overridinq Considerations. <br /> This Council specifically adopts this Statement of Overriding Considerations, finding that <br /> this Project includes all feasible measures that would eiirninate or substantially lessen <br /> fihe significant impacts of the Project on the environment, and that the remaining <br /> si�nificant, unavoidable impacts of the Praject are acceptable in light of the <br /> environmental, economic, social and other considerations set forth herein because the <br /> benefits of the Prajecfi ouiweigh the sign�cant and adverse impacts of the Pro}ect. This <br /> Councii finds that each of the overriding considerations set forth belaw constitutes a <br /> separate and independent ground for finding that the benefits of the Project outweigh its <br /> significant adverse environmental impacts and sets farth an overriding consideration <br /> warra�ting approva! of the Project. <br /> Atty/Reso/Reso.173$ 2 <br /> a82207 <br />
