The provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act have been followed. 3. The proposed project will not have a significant effect on the environment. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. Based on the initial study and comments received, staff has determined that the proposed project could not have a significant effect on the environment. A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the project in accordance with CEQA. A traffic study was required for the subject site and mitigation measures were recommended to alleviate traffic impacts. The proposed project is consistent with the surrounding land uses. The proposed project is consistent with the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. The existing inventory of C-O zoned land in northwest Bakersfield does not appear adequate to serve the area. Uses permitted in a PCD zone used as a combining zone are those uses permitted by the base zone with which the PCD zone is combined (Section 17.54.020 A. Municipal Code). Mitigation measures/conditions are included to lessen impacts of the project. The appeal by property owners has been considered. The appeal of the property owners is based upon the premise that many of the homeowners are new homeowners and did not receive notice of the public hearing and such owners were also told by the builders that the subject site would be only be developed as a church or a park. The recommendation of the Planning Commission is upheld. The public necessity, general welfare and good planning practices justify the amendment to the Land Use Element of the Metropolitan Bakersfield 2010 General Plan. Based on the absence of evidence in the record as required by Section 21082.2 of the State of California Public Resoumes Code (CEQA) for the purpose of documenting significant effects, it is the conclusion of the Lead Agency that this project will result in impacts that fall below the threshold of significance with regard to wildlife resources and, therefore, must be granted a "de minimis" exemption in accordance with Section 711 of the Sate of California Fish and Game Code. Additionally, the assumption of adverse effect is rebutted by the above-reference absence of evidence in the record and the Lead Agency's decision to prepare a Negative Declaration for this project.
