significant effect on the environment. The following reasons will support these findings:
1. The proposal is a logical component of the existing land use of this area.
2. Identified a.dverse impacts are proposed to be mitigated through preparation of spcGial studies and
construction of off-site improvements.
3. The proposed project is consistent with the adopted goals and policies of the General Plan of the
