Section 1. Pursuant to the City of Rosemead's CEQA Procedures and State CEQA
Guidelines, it has been determined that the adoption of this ordinance will not have potential
sienificant environmental impacts. This conclusion is based upon the record, initial study and
comments received during the public review period. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been
prepared according to CEQA. The City Council, having final approval authority over this project,
has reviewed and considered any comments received during the public review prior to the approval
of this project. Furthermore, the City Council has exercised its own independent judgment in
reaching the above conclusion. The City Council, therefore, approves the Negative Declaration.
Pursuant to Title XIV, California Code of Regulation, Section 753.5(v)(1), the City Council has
determined, after considering the record as a whole, that there is no evidence that the proposed
project will have the potential for adverse effect on the wildlife resources or the habitat upon which
the wildlife depends. Furthermore, on the basis of substantial evidence, the City Council hereby
finds anv presumption of adverse impact has been adequately rebutted. Therefore pursuant to Fish
and Game Code Section 711.2 and Title XIV, California Code of Regulations, Section 735.5(a)(3),
