GP -85-4A to the General Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa has prepared a Final Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) in canpliance with the California Environmental Quality

WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed and considered the certified
Final EIR in making its decision on the proposed Amendment to the Costa

WHEREAS, this Council deans it to be in the best interest of the City
that said amendment to the General Plan be adopted;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Costa Mesa that:
1. The City Council finds that the Final EIR has identified all sig-
nificant environmental effects of the project and that there are
no known potential environmental impacts not addressed in the
Final EIR.
2. The City Council finds that the Final EIR has described all rea-
sonable alternatives to the project that could feasibly attain
the basic objectives of the project, even when those alternatives
might impede the attainment of project objectives and might be
more costly. Further, the City Council finds a good faith effort
was made to incorporate alternatives in the preparation of the
Draft EIR, and all rasonable alternatives were considered in the
review process of the Final EIR and ultimate decisions on the
project.
3. The City Council finds that although the Final EIR identifies
certain significant environmental effects that will result if
the project is approved, all significant effects that can
feasibly be avoided or mitigated will be avoided or mitigated by
the impositioin of conditions on development proposals submitted
pursuant to the approved General Plan Anendment and the impossi-
tion of mitigation measures as set forth in the Statement of
Facts and the Final EIR.
4. The City Council finds that the unavoidable significant impacts
of the project, as identified in the Statement of Facts, have not
reduced to a level of insignificance, but have been substantially
reduced in their impacts by the imposition of mitigation meas-
ures. In making its decision on the project, the City Council
has given greater weight to the adverse environmental impacts.
The City Council finds that the remaining unavoidable significant
impacts are clearly outweighed by the economic, social, and other
benefits of the project, as set forth in the Statement of Over-
riding Considerations.
5. The City Council finds that the project should be approved, and
that any alternative to this action should not be approved for
the project based on the information contained in the Final EIR,
the data contained in the Statement of Facts, for reasons stated
in the public record, and those contained in the Statement of
Overriding Considerations.
6. The City Council finds that a good faith effort has been made to
seek out and incorporate all points of view in the preparation
of the Draft and Final EIR as indicated in the public record on
the project, including the Final EIR.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa
that the land use designation of properties located between West 19th
Street, Park Avenue, Plumer Street, and Anaheim Avenue, and a portion of
Plumer Street extending approximately 384 feet eastward fron Anaheim Ave-
nue, which are presently designated Ccomercial, or are part of the public
right-of-way, are hereby changed to Residential.
