Section 2. Pursuant to 14 Calif. Code of Regs. ~ 15025(a) and ~~ II.C
and ill of the City's Local CEQA Guidelines, staff prepared an Initial Study and a Draft
Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), to study the environmental impacts arising from the
revised Hellman Ranch Specific Plan and related General Plan amendments, inCluding this
amendment. The DEIR was circulated for public review and comment from April 8, 1997
to May 27, 1997, in compliance with the provisions of the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's Local CEQA Guidelines. A Revised DEIR was
circulated for public review and comments from June 5, 1997 to July 23, 1997. Upon
completion of the public review period, a Final Environmental Impact Report was
reviewed by the Planning Commission at a public hearing held on September 3, 1997.
After the public hearing, the Planning Commission found, through the adoption of
Planning Commission Resolution No. 97-22 that the Hellman Ranch Specific Plan Final
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is adequate under CEQA. After considering the Final
EIR and public testimony thereto at a public hearing on September 22, 1997, the City
Council adopted City Council Resolution No. 4562, certifying the Pinal EIR and adopting
a statement of overriding considerations. City Council Resolution No. 4562 is hereby
incorporated by this reference.
Section 3. After a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning
Commission recommended approval of Bicycle Route Element Amendment 97-1.
'I
Section 4. On September 22, 1997, the City Council conducted a
public hearing to consider the Planning Commission's recommendation. The City Council
received into evidence the following reports and minutes: the Planning Commission Staff
Report dated September 3, 1997, and Supplemental Staff Reports 1 and 2, also dated
September 3, 1997, all attachments thereto, the Minutes of the September 3, 1997
Planning Commission Meeting, and Planning Commission Resolutions 97-22 through 97-
34; the Environmental Quality Control Board Staff Report of September 9, Supplemental
Staff Report # 1, also dated September 9, 1997, and Supplemental Staff Report # 2, dated
September 16, 1997the Minutes of the Environmental Quality Control Board of September

Advisory Committee Staff Report and Minutes of August 27, 1997, and Archaeological
Advisory Committee Resolutions 97-1 and 97-2. The City Council also considered all
public testimony and written information presented. The record of the hearings indicates
the following:
Resolution Number '/4Z.4
(a) As a result of the subject applications before the City, the "Future
Street Bike Pathft designation on Hellman Ranch Property is not required as the public
roadway within which the bike path was to be located is not required. The "Future

hearing, including the facts stated in fi 4 of this resolution, and in the environmental
documentation prepared in conjunction with this project, and pursuant to fifi 28-2600 and I
28-2602 of the City's Code, the City Council hereby finds the proposed General Plan
Amendments: are beneficial to the short tenn and long term land use goals of the City of
Seal Beach; promote the public health, safety and welfare; and are in the public interest.
(a)' Pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, an ElR has
been prepared and has been certified by the City Council. This amendment is within the
scope of the certified EIR, which adequately describes the general environmental setting of
the project, its significant impacts, and the alternatives, and mitigation measures related to
each significant environmental effect. No additional environmental documentation is
needed.
Section 6. Based on the foregoing, the Bicycle Route Element is
hereby amended as follows:
1. Bicycle Route Element Map - Eliminate "Future Street Bike Pathft designation
on Hellman Ranch Property. The "Future Streetft is not required as part of the
adopted Hellman Ranch Specific Plan.
Staff is directed to revise the Bicycle Route Element accordingtl.
