NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach does hereby resolve as follows: SECTION 1. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15132, the Final EIR for the Project is comprised of the Draft EIR and Appendices,the comments received on the Draft EIR, the Responses to Comments (including a list of persons, organizations, and public agencies 09-2218.003/39869 1 commenting on the Draft EIR), the Text Changes to the Draft EIR(bound together with the Responses to Comments) and all Planning Department Staff Reports to the Planning Commission, including all minutes, transcripts, attachments and references. All of the above information has been and will be on file with the City of Huntington Beach Department of Planning, 2000 Main Street, Huntington Beach, California 92648. SECTION 2. The City Council finds and certifies that the Final EIR is complete and adequate in that it has identified all significant environmental effects of the Project and that there are no known potential environmental impacts not addressed in the Final EIR. SECTION 3. The City Council finds that all significant effects of the Project are set forth in the Final EIR. SECTION 4. 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 which can feasibly be mitigated or avoided have been mitigated or avoided by the incorporation of Project design features, standard conditions and requirements, and by the imposition of mitigation measures on the approved Project. All mitigation measures are included in the "Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Checklist" (also referred to as the "Mitigation Monitoring Program") attached as Exhibit"A"to this Resolution and incorporated herein by this reference. SECTION 5. The City Council finds that the Final EIR has described reasonable alternatives to the Project that could feasibly obtain the basic objectives of the Project (including the "No Project"Alternative), even when these alternatives might impede the attainment of Project objectives and might be more costly. Further, the City Council finds that a good faith effort was made to incorporate alternatives in the preparation of the Draft EIR and that a reasonable range of alternatives was considered in the review process of the Final EIR and ultimate decisions on the Project. SECTION 6. The City Council finds that no "substantial evidence" (as that term is defined pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15384) has been presented which would call into question the facts and conclusions in the EIR. SECTION 7. The City Council finds that no "significant new information" (as that term is defined pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15088.5)has been added to the EIR after circulation of the Draft EIR. The City Council finds that the minor refinements that have been made in the Project as a result of clarifications in the mitigation measures and additional water supply analyses do not amount to significant new information concerning the Project, nor has any significant new information concerning the Project become known to the City Council through the public hearings held on the Project, or through the comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments. SECTION 8. The City Council finds that the Mitigation Monitoring Program establishes a mechanism and procedures for implementing and verifying the mitigations pursuant to Public Resources Code 2108.6 and hereby adopts the Mitigation Monitoring Program. The mitigation 09-2218.003/39869 2 measures shall be incorporated into the Project prior to or concurrent with Project implementation as defined in each mitigation measure. SECTION 9. The City Council finds that the Final EIR reflects the independent review and judgment of the City of Huntington Beach City Council,that the Final EIR was presented to the City Council, and that the City Council reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR prior to approving General Plan Amendment No. 08-007, Zoning Text Amendment No. 08-004 and Local Coastal Program Amendment No. 09-002. SECTION 10. The City Council finds that the Final EIR serves as adequate and appropriate environmental documentation for the Project. The City Council certifies that the Final EIR prepared for the Project is complete, and that it has been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and CEQA Guidelines.

The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)requires that agencies adopting environmental impact reports ascertain that feasible mitigation measures are implemented, subsequent to project approval. Specifically, the lead or responsible agency must adopt a reporting or monitoring program for mitigation measures incorporated into a project or imposed as conditions of approval. The program must be designed to ensure compliance during applicable project timing, e.g. design, construction, or operation(Public Resource Code §21081.6). The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) shall be used by the City of Huntington Beach staff responsible for ensuring compliance with mitigation measures associated with the Huntington Beach Downtown Specific Plan Update project. Monitoring shall consist of review of appropriate documentation, such as plans or reports prepared by the party responsible for implementation or by field observation of the mitigation measure during implementation. The following table identifies the mitigation measures by resource area. The table also provides the specific mitigation monitoring requirements, including implementation documentation,monitoring activity,timing and responsible monitoring party. Verification of compliance with each measure is to be indicated by signature of the mitigation monitor,together with date of verification.
