for approximately 3313 acres within the GPA area nearest to the City on its Eastern side; and
WHEREAS, a Program Environmental Impact Report ("Program EIW') was prepared for the
EDSP and GPA (SCH No. 91103604) and certified by the City Council on May 10, 1993, by Resolution
No. 51-93, and two Addenda dated May 4, 1993, and August 22, 1994 ("Addenda") have been prepared
and adopted by the City Council and are hereby incorporated by reference; and

has been prepared for the project with the finding that with the implementation of Mitigation Measures

Study, the potential site-specific impacts of the project would be reduced to a level of insignificance. The

WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did hold a public hearing on said application on August 8,
2000 and August 22, 2000; and
WHEREAS, proper notice of said heating was given in all respects as required by law; and

Council adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring Program for PA 99-064; and

General Plan Amendment and Specific Plan (SCH 91103064). Site-specific environmental affects
