General Plan Housing Element Update
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held two duly noticed public hearings on April 14,
2004, and May 12, 2004 to consider the proposed amendments to the General Plan Circulation
& Transportation, and Land Use Elements, and formulated a recommendation to the City

WHEREAS, the Final Draft Housing Element identifies the City's housing needs, setting
appropriate goals, objectives, and policies and includes a five-year program schedule of needed

adverse effect upon wildlife resources. This finding is based upon the following rationale. The
project descriptions, Initial Environmental Studies, Negative Declarations, and public testimony
did not present any evidence regarding potential adverse effects upon wildlife resources from
this project. Therefore the project qualifies for a "de minimus" exemption under Section 21089 of
CEQA.
6. This resolution is effective upon its adoption.
