Home My WebLink AboutCC RES 92-110RESOLUTION NO. 92-110 RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF PALM DESERT CERTIFYING FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR) FOR DEVELOPMENT OF "THE CREST" WHEREAS, a Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) was prepared for "The Crest" project to address the environmental effects, mitigation measures and project alternatives associated with proposed "The Crest"; and WHEREAS, the DEIR for "The Crest" was prepared pursuant to the requirements of California Environmental Quality Act (hereinafter "CEQA" Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq�, the State CEQA Guidelines (California Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq hereinafter "Guidelines"); and WHEREAS, written comments on the Notice of Preparation were received and incorporated into the DEIR for "The Crest"; and WHEREAS, written comments on the DEIR for "The Crest" were received from the public during and after the public review period; and WHEREAS, such comments were responded to through a response to comments document and submitted to the City Council; and WHEREAS, the City Council has reviewed all environmental documentation comprising the DEIR for "The Crest" and has found that the DEIR considers all environmental effects of the proposed project and is complete and adequate and fully complies with all requirements of CEQA and the Guidelines; and WHEREAS, Section 21081 of CEQA and Section 15090 of the Guidelines require that the City Council make one or more of the following findings prior to approval of a project for which an EIR has been completed identifying one or more significant effects of the project, along with statements of facts supporting each finding: FINDING 1- Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the project which mitigate or avoid the significant environmental effects thereof as identified in the EIR. FINDING 2- Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the finding. 5uch changes have been adopted by such other agency or can and should be adopted by such other agency. RESOLUTION NO. 92-110 FINDING 3- Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the EIR; and WHEREAS, the mitigation measures included in this Resolution are designed to reduce or eliminate the environmental impacts described herein. Mitigation measures are structured according to the criteria in Section 15370 of the CEQA Guidelines. This section provides generally that "mitigation" includes: a) avoidance of an impact; b) minimization of an impact; c) rectifying an impact by restoration; d) reducing or eliminating an impact over time by preservation and maintenance operations; and e) compensating for the impact by replacing or providing substitute resources or environments. Additionally, mitigation measures have been drafted to meet the requirement of Public Resources Code Section 21081.6 as monitoring program. In most cases herein, the drafting approach defines the following for each mitigation measure: 1. A time for performance - In each case, a time for performance of the mitigation, or review of evidence that mitigation has taken place, is provided. The performance points selected are designed to ensure that impact related components of project implementation do not � proceed without establishing that the mitigation is assured. 2. A responsible party supervisinq erformance - In each case, a public official is named in the mitigation measure as responsible for ensuring that the mitigation is carried out. To guarantee that the mitigation measure will not be inadvertently overlooked in connection with the issuance of a later permit, the supervising public officials the official who grants the permit called for in the performance. 3. Definition of mitiqation - In each case (except where a mitigation, such as a geotechnical report, is a well- known procedure or term of art), the mitigation measure contains the criteria for mitigation, either in the form of adherence to certain adopted regulations, or identification of the steps to be taken in mitigation. To further facilitate the monitoring of these measures during project implementation, each measure has been drafted in a manner suitable for use as a condition of approval. It is anticipated that the mitigation measures herein may be used without additional monitoring report requirements, as each measure is designed to be self-executing. The City of Palm Desert is implementing a monitoring program in accordance with state mandate Section 21086 of the Public Resources Code. RESOLUTION NO. 92-110 WHEREAS, Section 15093(a) of the Guidelines require the Cit� Council to balance the benefits of a proposed project against its unavoidable environmental risks in determining whether to approve the project; and WHEREAS, Section 15093(a} requires that, whe�e the decision of the City Council allows the occurrence of significant effects which are identified in the EIR but are not mitigated, the City Council must state in writing the reasons to support its action based on the EIR or other information in the record; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT: 1. The City Council hereby certifies EIR for "The Crest" project as adequate and complete in that it addresses all environmental effects of the proposed Altamira Country Club and fully complies with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the Guidelines. Said EIR is composed of the following elements: a. Draft EIR for "The Crest" b. Appendices to Draft EIR c. Comments received on DEIR and responses to those comments d.
