and project has been completed in compliance with
CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines,2. The City Council has carefully

the independent judgment and analysis of the City of Orange,4. Based
on the information contained in FEIR 1612-01, the
City Council finds that the environmental impact report
provides an adequate assessment of the
potentially significant environmental impacts associated with CUP 2378-01 and MSPR 106-99,
5. The City Council approves and adopts the Statement
of Facts and Findings and Statement of Overriding Considerations contained
in FEIR 1612-01.which document and support that even with the implementation
of mitigation measures, it is infeasible to reduce the project's
impact on air quality to a level of insignificance. Further, these
statements identify how the City has eliminated or substantially lessened all
significant effects on the environment.
Accordingly, the City Council finds that the project's benefits outweigh
the adverse impacts.6. The City Council approves and adopts
the Mitigation
Monitoring Program contained in the FEIR 1612-01 as the mitigation-monitoring program
for the project.7. That the proposed project is consistent with
the City's General Plan.8. That the proposed office
building and parking structure are permitted within the subject zoning

the land uses being proposed.

proposed office building and parking structure development.

surrounding development and neighborhoods.
12, That the project provides for safe and adequate vehicular and pedestrian
circulation, both on and off-
site.13. The project is granted upon sound principles ofland use and in response
to services required by the
community,14. The project will not cause deterioration of bordering land uses or
create special problems for the area in which the site is
located.15. The project has been considered in relationship to its effect on
the community or neighborhood plans for the area in which the site is
located.16. The project is made subject to those conditions necessary to preserve
the general welfare, not the individual welfare of any particular
applicant.17. That there is no evidence before the City of Orange that the
proposed office building and parking structure will have any potential for
adverse affects, either individually or cumulatively, on wildlife resources or
the habitat upon which the wildlife depends. Therefore, the
proposed development is found to have a de minimis impact in its effect on fish
and
wildlife.18. That the data and analysis upon which these findings of fact are
