RESOLUTION NO. 2025-XXX 2
<br />
<br />WHEREAS, a staff report, dated February 6, 2025 and incorporated herein by reference, described
<br />and analyzed the Project and the related Draft and Final EIRs for the Planning Commission; and
<br />WHEREAS, on February 6, 2025, the Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Project, at
<br />which time all interested parties had the opportunity to be heard; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission fully considered the Draft EIR, Final EIR, required CEQA
<br />Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
<br />Project application and entitlements, applicant’s statements, staff report, findings of fact, conditions of
<br />approval, public comments, and all other testimony and evidence presented at the public hearing; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission found that the staff report and Environmental Impact
<br />Report (SCH No. 2023110597) reflected the City’s independent judgement and analysis of the
<br />Project; and
<br />WHEREAS, on February 6, 2025, the Planning Commission voted to adopt a Resolution certifying
<br />the Environmental Impact Report and adopt Findings, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a
<br />Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program; and
<br />WHEREAS, on February 6, 2025, the Planning Commission voted to adopt a Resolution approving
<br />the Project; and
<br />WHEREAS, an appeal of the Planning Commission’s decision to certify the EIR and approve the
<br />Project was timely filed by Mitchell M. Tsai Law Offices for Carpenters Local 713 and Advocates for the
<br />Environment; and
<br />WHEREAS, a City Council staff report dated May 5, 2025, and incorporated herein by reference,
<br />describes and analyzes the proposed Project; and
<br />WHEREAS, on May 5, 2025, the City Council held a public hearing to consider the EIR and the
<br />proposed Project, at which time the applicant, appellant, and all other interested parties had an
<br />opportunity to be heard; and
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council has considered all public comments received, the presentation by
<br />City staff, the staff report, and environmental documents attached to this this resolution; and
<br />WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the staff report and Environmental Impact Report (SCH No.
<br />2023110597) reflect the City’s independent judgement and analysis of the Project; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Environmental Impact Report identified potentially significant impacts that cannot
<br />be reduced to a less-than-significant level, as there are no available mitigation measures and potentially
<br />significant impacts that can be reduced to a less-than-significant level with the application of specified
<br />mitigation measures. Approval of the Project by the City Council will therefore require adoption of
<br />Findings, a Statement of Overriding Considerations, and a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program,
<br />which are attached to this Resolution as Exhibits C and D; and DRAFT
