In conformity with the provisions of Section 53331 of the Act, this City Council finds, determines and declares that the public convenience and necessity require the modification of Existing Exhibit A to read as set forth in New Exhibit A. Section 2. These change proceedings are being conducted with respect to CFD No. 2015-1.
