1. The proposed amendments to the "Growth Management Element"
are insubstantial in nature, and do not generate any substantial
environmental impacts, and Negative Declaration 92-2, previously
approved by the City Council on May 26, 1992, adequately
discloses the potential environmental impacts of the "Growth
Management Element of the General Plan of the City of Seal
Beach", including the amendments proposed, and no substantial
adverse environmental impacts will result upon the adoption of the
proposed amendments to the "Growth Management Element" of the
General Plan.
2. The proposed amendments to the "Growth Management Element
of the General Plan of the City of Seal Beach" will retain existing
policies and programs for establishing specific traffic level of
service (LOS) standards, developing mitigation programs, and
developing phasIng policies.
3. The proposed "Growth Management Element of the General Plan
of the City of Seal Beach" does not replace or supersede any of the
other General Plan elements. It amplifies and supports the goals
and policies that are included in the other General Plan elements
and establishes new goals and policies where necessary.

of the City of Seal Beach" is consistent with the other elements of
the Seal Beach General Plan.
