12-3168/74987 1
Resolution No. 2012-05
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
commenting on the Draft EIR), the Text Changes to the Draft EIR (bound together with the
Responses to Comments) and all Planning and Building Department Staff Reports to the City
Council, 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 and Building, 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 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. 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 that would call to
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 Final EIR after
circulation of the Draft EIR. The City Council finds that the refinements that have been made in
the Project as a result of clarifications in the mitigation measures and EIR text 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.
12-3168/74987 2
Resolution No. 2012-05
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
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 a project located on the subject property.
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

INTRODUCTION
The Final Environmental Impact Report for Beach and Ellis Mixed-Use Project (State Clearinghouse #
2011091022) identified mitigation measures to reduce the adverse effects of the project in the areas of:
aesthetics, air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous
materials, hydrology and water quality, noise, public services, transportation/traffic, utilities and service
systems, and greenhouse gases.
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 Section 21081.6). Code,Requirements (CRs) that were identified in the Draft EIR
axe required to be implemented as a result of existing City code and are not considered mitigation
measures: Therefore, CRs would be implemented for the Beach and Ellis Mixed-Use Project but these
do not require monitoring activity, and are not included in this Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program (MMRP).
The MMRP shall be used by City of Huntington Beach staff responsible for ensuring compliance with
mitigation measures associated with the Beach and Ellis Mixed-Use 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' tithing 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.
The Project Applicant and the Applicant's Contractor shall be responsible for implementation of all
mitigation measures, unless otherwise noted in the table.
