and revisions to the Project identified in the EIR are implemented. The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program ("MMRP") is attached and incorporated by reference into the May 3, 2010 staff report prepared for the approval of the Project, is included in the conditions of approval for the Project, and is adopted by the City Council. The MMRP satisfies the requirements of CEQA. 21. The mitigation measures set forth in the MMRP are specific and enforceable and are capable of being fully implemented by the efforts of the City of San Leandro, the applicant, and/or other identified public agencies of responsibility. As appropriate, some mitigation measures define performance standards to ensure no significant environmental impacts will result. The MMRP adequately describes implementation procedures, monitoring responsibility, reporting actions, compliance schedule, non-compliance sanctions, and verification of compliance in order to ensure that the Project complies with the adopted mitigation measures. 22. The City Council will adopt and impose the feasible mitigation measures as set forth in the MMRP as enforceable conditions of approval. The City has adopted measures to substantially lessen or eliminate all significant effects where feasible. 23. The mitigation measures incorporated into and imposed upon the Project approval will not have new significant environmental impacts that were not analyzed in the EIR. In the event a mitigation measure recommended in the EIR has been inadvertently omitted from the conditions of approval or the MMRP, that mitigation measure is adopted and incorporated from the EIR into the MMRP by reference and adopted as a condition of approval.

The City Council adopts the reasoning of the EIR, staff reports, and presentations provided by the staff and the project sponsor as may be modified by these findings. 25. The City Council recognizes that the environmental analysis of the Project raises controversial environmental issues, and that a range of technical and scientific opinion exists with respect to those issues. The City Council acknowledges that there are differing and potentially conflicting expert and other opinions regarding the Project. The City Council has, through review of the evidence and analysis presented in the record, acquired a better understanding of the breadth of this technical and scientific opinion and of the full scope of the environmental issues presented. In turn, this understanding has enabled the City Council to make fully informed, thoroughly considered decisions after taking account of the various viewpoints on these important issues and reviewing the record. These findings are based on a full appraisal of all viewpoints expressed in the -5-
