and economic vitality of the downtown area, particularly in recognition of a planned BART station
adjacent to the Project site. (See Resolution 00-227, incorporated herein by reference). The effects of
implementing the Specific Plan and related general plan amendments were reviewed in a Negative
Declaration which was properly circulated for public review and adopted by the City Council on

review in the Planning Department and is incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the Specific Plan was prepared as a self-mitigating plan. Upon adoption of the

act as mitigations that must be included in subsequent implementing developments, such as the Project.
The Project is consistent with and implements the Specific Plan land uses, policies, standards, guidelines
and programs; and
WHEREAS, the City prepared an Initial Study dated November 6, 2003 for the Project consistent
with CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and determined that the Project would not result in any significant
adverse impacts. The draft Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study are attached as Exhibit A
and incorporated herein by r~ferenee; and
WHEREAS, the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was circulated for public review from
November 10, 2003 to December 2, 2003. Although not required by CEQA, the City prepared written
responses to all the comments in a Responses to Comments document dated February 10, 2004. The
comment letter and responses are incorporated herein by reference; and
WHEREAS, the responses provide the City's good faith, reasoned analysis of the environmental
issues raised by the comments; and
WltEREAS, the City carefully reviewed the comments and written responses and detemained that
no subsequent EIR-level review of the document was warranted, that the prior Negative Declaration and
the Project Mitigated Negative Declaration adequately identified and analyzed the Project's
environmental impacts, and that the comments and responses did not constitute or require substantial
revisions to the Mitigated Negative Declaration; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission considered the Planned Development rezoning and Stage
2 Development Plan for the project, and all related reports, studies, environmental documents, including
comments and responses and recommended the said project to the City Council on February 24, 2004;
and
WHEREAS, a Staff report, dated April 20, 2004 and incorporated herein by reference, described
and analyzed the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, including comments and responses, and the
Project for the Planning Commission; and

and Stage 2 Development Plan, the draft Mitigated Negative Declaration, including comments and
responses, at a noticed public heating on April 20, 2004 at which time alt interested parties had the
opportunity to be heard; and
WHEREAS, the draft Mitigated. Negative Declaration, including comments and responses, reflects
the City's independent judgment and analysis on the potential for environmental impacts from the AMB
Property, Inc. West Dublin Transit Village Project; and
