Designations and Zoning Districts will add the C1-MD (Community Commercial/Museum District) zoning district to the District Center (DC) General Plan Land Use Designation land use category, ensuring consistency between the C1-MD zoning district and the General Plan. G. The City Council has weighed and balanced the General Plan’s policies, both new and old, and has determined that based upon this balancing that General Plan Amendment No. 2017-02 is consistent with the purpose of the general plan. Section 2. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the initial study and the mitigated negative declaration (MND)/Environmental Review No. 2016-165, prepared with respect to this project. The City Council has, as a result of its consideration and the evidence presented at the hearings on this matter, determined that, as required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State CEQA Guidelines, an MND adequately addresses the expected environmental impacts of this project. On the basis of this review, the City Council finds that there is no evidence from which it can be fairl y argued that the project will have a significant adverse effect on the environment. The City Council hereby certifies and approves the MND and directs that the Notice of Determination be prepared and filed with the County Clerk of the County of Orange in the manner required by law. Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulations (CCR) § 735.5(c)(1), the City Council has determined that, after considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed Project will have the potential for any significant adverse effect on wildlife resources or the ecological habitat upon which wildlife resources depend. The proposed Project exists in an urban environment characterized by paved concrete, roadways, surrounding buildings and human activity. However, pursuant to Fish and Game Code § 711.2 and Title XIV, CCR § 735.5, the payment of Fish and Game Department filing fees in conjunction with this project is at the discretion of the State of California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
