File Number: 18-065 noticed public hearing on February 20, 2018, at which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and WHEREAS, the City Council received and reviewed the comments from individual Planning Commissioners related to the Specific Plan EIR; and WHEREAS, the Draft and Final EIRs reflect the City's independent judgment and analysis on the potential for environmental impacts and constitute the Environmental Impact Report for the Bay Fair Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Specific Plan: and WHEREAS, the EIR identified several potentially significant impacts that will be reduced to a less than significant level with specified mitigation measures. Approval of the Specific Plan will therefore require adoption of findings on impacts and mitigations and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and WHEREAS, the EIR identified significant and unavoidable environmental impacts of the Specific Plan.
