CERTIFYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT AND ADOPTING A
STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS/FINDINGS DOCUMENT
AND MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM FOR THE
PUBLIC WORKS YARD CONSOLIDATION AND WATER TREATMENT
FACILITY PROJECT.
WHEREAS, an Environmental Impact Report has been prepared pursuant to the
requirements of the California Environmental Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and
WHEREAS, on the basis of all of the information available, all potentially significant
environmental impacts associated with the project, except noise during construction, can be
mitigated to a level of insignificance through the implementation of mitigation measures
addressed in the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and that the Environmental
Impact Report reflects an independent judgment and analysis; and
WHEREAS, the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program must be adopted in order
to assess and ensure the implementation of required mitigation measures applied to the
development and to ensure that the project complies with all applicable environmental mitigation
and permit requirements; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that none of the project alternatives evaluated
would attain project objectives while avoiding or substantially lessening the impacts of the
proposed project, a Statement of Overriding Considerations/Findings Document must be
adopted in order to find that the benefits of the project are expected to outweigh the unavoidable
significant impact.
WHEREAS, the certification of the Environmental Impact Report is necessary to allow
for various discretionary actions related to the project to subsequently occur.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DOWNEY DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. The Environmental Impact Report prepared in compliance with the
