associated with the proposed development; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council adopts the following
Findings of Fact Regarding Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures for the Marina Cove
Project:
1. No substantial changes are proposed in the project which require revisions to the adopted
Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a
substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects;
2. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which require revisions of the adopted Negative Declaration due to the
involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity
of previously identified significant effects; and
3. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known, and could not have
been known at the time the Negative Declaration was adopted, shows that:
a. The project would result in potentially significant impacts that were not previously
evaluated,
b. Significant effects that were previously evaluated will be substantially more sever
than shown in the adopted Negative Declaration; or
c. Adopted mitigations do not adequately mitigate potential impacts.
