7.C. - Page 20 of 178 WHEREAS, pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081.6 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15097, the City has prepared a program for reporting on or monitoring the changes which it has either required in the Project or made a condition of approval to mitigate or avoid significant environmental effects (the "Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program" or "MMRP"), which is attached hereto as Exhibit "B"; and WHEREAS, the EIR concluded that the Project would have a significant and unavoidable impact on historical resources; and WHEREAS, on July 2, 2019, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and received public testimony on the Draft EIR; and WHEREAS, on July 11, 2019, the Historic Resources Advisory Committee held a duly noticed public hearing and received public testimony on the Draft EIR. The City received written and public testimony from the public during the Draft EIR public review period; and WHEREAS, all of the findings, recommendations and conclusions made by the City Council pursuant to this Resolution are based upon the oral and written evidence presented to it as a whole and not based solely on the information provided in this Resolution; and WHEREAS, prior to taking action, the City Council has heard, been presented with, reviewed and considered all of the information and data in the administrative record, including by not limited to the Draft EIR, all of which is incorporated herein by this reference; and WHEREAS, no significant new information has been added to the EIR after public notice of the availability of the Draft EIR or added or modified in the Final EIR, under CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5. The additional information and modifications that have been provided do not show (1) a new significant environmental impact, (2) a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact, (3) that a feasible project alternative or mitigation measure would clearly lessen the significant impacts of the Project, but that the City declines to adopt it, or (4) that the Draft EIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comments are precluded. The EIR mitigation measures are incorporated into the Project to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. Therefore, no further analysis is required and there is no need to recirculate a revised EIR for further review and comment; and WHEREAS, the City prepared written responses to the comments received during the comment period, which together with the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP") and the Draft EIR constitutes the Final EIR; and ATTY/RESO.0124/CC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA CERTIFICATION - YMCA REV: 12-12-19 IY Page 3 of 44 443
