CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME CERTIFICATE OF FEE EXEMPTION De Minimis Impact Finding Project Title/Location Name and Address of Project Proponent (include county): A-98-3; to amend the Zoning Code to include requirements for the siting of telecommunication facilities such as, telecommunication towers, antennae and alternative tower structures Project Description: The proposal is to amend the City of San Leandro Zoning Code to include general guidelines for the siting of telecommunication facilities such as, telecommunication towers, antennae and alternative tower structures. The proposed telecommunications ordinance will seek to reduce the total number of towers located throughout the City, encourage service providers to minimize adverse visual impacts, and set standards which the City may approve the placement of telecommunications facilities. Findings of Exemption: 1. The City Council approved the proposal to amend the Zoning Code to include requirements for the siting of telecommunication facilities such as, telecommunication towers, antennae and alternative tower structures. 2. An initial study has been conducted to evaluate potential adverse environmental impacts. 3. The City Council finds and determines that, when considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence before the City that the proposed Code amendment will have potential for an adverse effect on the wildlife resources or the habitat on which wildlife depends. 4. The City Council, based on the substantial evidence incorporated on the initial study, negative declaration, and staff reports, rebuts to presumption of adverse effect provided in Section 753.5(d) of Title 14, California Code of Regulations. Certification: I hereby certify that the lead agency has made the above findings of fact and that based upon the initial study and hearing record the project will not individually or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the Fish and Game Code.
