hearing, including the facts stated in 0 5 of this resolution, and in the environmental
documentation prepared in conjunction with this project, and pursuant to 00 28-2600
and 28-2602 of the City's Code, the City Council hereby finds:
(a) The proposed Vesting Tentative Tract Map will provide a less

short term and long term land use goals of the City of Seal Beach; will promote the public
health, safety and welfare; and is in the public interest.
(c) The proposed Map is consistent with applicable General and
Specific Plans in that the Map requires dedications that are consistent with said plans.
(d) The design of the subdivision will not interfere with existing
easements, acquired by the public or utilities that serve the public, because the proposed
subdivision will preserve and maintain existing easements.
I
(e) The site is physically suitable for the proposed subdivision, and
will allow for further subdivision that can meet the density and configurations of
adopted Specific and General Plans.
Resolution Numbe~~
.
(f) The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause substantial
environmental damage as all mitigation measures contained in the Environmental
Impact Report (EIR) to protect the environment will be implemented.
I
(g) Pursuant to Section 15168 of the CEQA Guidelines, an EIR has
been prepared and has been certified by the City Council. This subdivision is within
the scope of the certified EIR, which adequately describes the general environmental
setting of the project, its significant environmental impacts, and the alternatives, and
mitigation measures related to each significant environmental effect. No additional
environmental documentation is needed.
Section 7. Based upon the foregoing, the City Council of the City of
Seal Beach does approve Vesting Tentative Tract Map 15381, subject to the following
conditions:
1. Prior to Final Map approval, an irrevocable offer to dedicate Lot 3 to the City of
Seal Beach for public park purposes shall be accepted by the City of Seal Beach.
2. Prior to Final Map approval, the final configuration of Lot 3 shall be shown on the

Ranch Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report.
