The proposed project will improve local transportation system capacity at the project location, and reduce the level of service (LOS) from an existing (1997) worst LOS "E" in the P.M. peak hour to LOS "B", and a projected future (2020) worst LOS "F" in the P.M. peak hour to LOS "D". These transportation improvements will result in ~verall reductions in local air quality impacts within the community be allowing traffic to flow more freely within the project area, thereby reducing local CO and other air quality impacts; and WHEREAS, staff has prepared and circulated an Initial Environmental Assessment and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The comment period on Negative Declaration 99-1 ended on August 23, 1999. As of September 9, 1999, The City has received responses on the proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration from: I lJ Governor's Office of Planning .and Research, State Clearinghouse, August 23, ]999 lJ Caldwell, Leslie, Newcombe & Pettit, August 23, 1999 lJ Department of the Navy, Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, August 23, 1999 lJ Department of Transportation, District 12, Environmental Planning, August 24, 1999 lJ Southern California As~iation of Governments, August 10, 1999 lJ County of Orange, Planning and Development Services Department, . August 23, ]999 lJ Orange County Fire Authority, August 26, ]999 lJ Southern California Gas Company, August 7, 1999 lJ California Department of Transportation, District 12, September 9, 1999; lJ Other comments were received by the City Council after the close of the prescribed comment period; and WHEREAS, the City's consultant, Robert Bein, William Frost & Associates, has prepared a "Comments and Responses" document to all of the above-received Resolution Number~J'~~ comments on Negative Dec]aration 99-1. A copy of that document was provided for the information of the City Council; and WHEREAS, the Environmental Quality Control Board reviewed the subject Initial Environmenta] Assessment and proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration on September 29, ]999, and determined to recommend to the Planning Commission and City Council the adequacy of the subject documents, subject to certain amendments set forth in their "Memorandum" of September 29, 1999; and I WHEREAS, a duly noticed public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on October 20, 1999 to cOnsider Negative Declaration 99-1 and the consistency with the Circulation Element of the General Plan of the Seal Beach Boulevard/l-405 Overpass Widening Project; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission received into evidence the Staff Report of October 20, 1999, along with all attachments thereto, including the Staff Report, Minutes and Memorandum of the Environmental Quality Control Board dated September 29, 1999, and considered all public testimony presented; and WHEREAS, The Planning Commission made the following findings and recommended adoption of Negative Declaration 99-1 by the City Council: 4. ]. The proposed Negative Declaration adequately discloses the potential environmental impacts of the proposed Sea] Beach Boulevard/l-405 Overpass Widening Project, and no substantial adverse environmental impacts will result upon the approval of the subject project. 2. I The proposed project is consistent with the Circulation Element of the City of Seal Beach General Plan. The adopted "Circulation Element - Streets and Highways of the General PIan" map was adopted by Planning Commission Resolution No. 886 on January ]5, 1975, and by City Council Resolution No. 2394 on January 27, 1975. This map indicates Seal Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway to the northerly City boundary at Bradbury Road to be a "Major - 120' right-of-way". This roadway designation is consistent with the proposed overpass widening project in that the overpass will be widened to a total right-of-way width of 122 feet, including 3 through traffic lanes in each direction, median, sidewalks, and bike lanes. 3. The proposed project is also consistent with the language of the Circulation Element of the City of Sea] Beach General Plan, which indicates within the "Capital Improvements Program" provision for "Seal Beach Boulevard - San Diego Freeway interchange improvement". This project will fulfill that goal within the Capital Improvement Program section of the Circulation Element. The proposed project is also included within the City of Seal Beach adopted 7-Year Capital Improvement Program and within the adopted Southern California Association of Government's (SCAG) 1998-2005 Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP); and I WHEREAS, the City Council conducted a public hearing on October 25, 1999 regarding. Negative Declaration 99-1, received public comments, and continued the public hearing to November 8, 1999; and Resqlution Numbe~~~ WHEREAS, the City received an additional comment letter on November 8, 1999 from Christopher G. Caldwell, arguing that a significant construction- related traffic will occur during the construction phase of the project; and I WHEREAS, the City has addressed each of these concerns within the Initial Study/Negative Declaration document. Moreover, although CEQA does not require responses to comments made concerning a 'negative declaration, the City responded in writing to comments received, in the "Final Com.ments and Responses" documents dated October I] and Nov,e!llber 4,. 1999, respectiyely, and the Environmental Quality Control "''Memorandum to the City Council dated September 29, 1999; and . I WHEREAS, sP~~ficallY~he temporary traffic-related impacts of the project were . . .....~ discussedYon pages 40 through 42 of the Initial Study/Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration document originally circulated for public review and comment on July 23, ]999, and a proposed mitigation measure regarding short-term mitigation through the preparation of a "Traffic Management Plan" was set forth on page 48. This mitigation measure is recommended for adoption by the City Council. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council hereby: 1. Finds that there is substantial evidence in the record that the project may have a significant effect on the environment, but mitigation measures imposed herein would avoid or mitigate the effects to a point where clearly no significant effect would occur and there is no substantial evidence in the record that any significant effect would remain after mitigation. 2. There has been no evidence presented that the Mitigated Negative Declaration has been "substantially revised" so as to require recirculation under the California Environmental Quality Act. I 3. Adopts Mitigated Negative Declaration 99-]. 4. Approves and adopts as conditions of approval the Mitigation Measures set forth in "Exhibit A" of this resolution for the Seal Beach Boulevard/I-405 Overcrossing Widening Project. . 5. Finds the Seal Beach Bou]evard/I-405 Overcrossing Widening Project is consistent with the Circulation Element of the City of Seal Beach General Plan. 6. The foregoing findings are based on substantial evidence in the record, including without limitation, the draft. Mitigated Negative Declaration, staff reports and both oral and written testimony. The documents that comprise the record of the, proceedings are on file with the Department of Development Services, 2]] Eighth Street, Seal Beach. The custodian of said records is the Director of Development Services.
