Findin~jn Support of Negative Declaration
Notwithstanding the disclosure of the significant impact and their mitigation
described, the Mayor and Common Council for the City of San Bernardino have
determined, pursuant to Section 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines, that the
benefits of the proposed project outweigh the adverse impacts and that rather
thana focused Environmental Impact Report a Negative Declaration should be
given. '
/
The Mayor and Common Council specifically find that there are special social,
economic and other reasons for issuing a Negative Declaration. The reasons
are as follows:
1. The project provides an opportunity for physical improvements of the
road system which will not otherwise be made available. The applicant
has been discussing the establishment of an improvement district or
similar mechanism to design, construct and install identified improve-
ments to the road system which will benefit the overall area adjacent
to the proposed project.
2. Improvements to the flood control channel adjacent to the project site
will be made as a condition of approval to the project providing greater
winter storm protection to an area which is tremendously lacking in such
protection, due to lack of funding from San Bernardino County Flood
Control District.
3. The project will create employment for the construction of the residen-
tial structures proposed for the subject project.
4. The development of the project will provide affordable housing in an
area of San Bernardino which is designated for higher income levels.
5. Issuance of the Negative Declaration, with any pending conditions of
approval for the propr~ed residential project, would make possible the
sequential development and physical improvements necessary for the
development of this area as prime residential area.
