VI. Findings re Consistency with the General Plan.
The City Council hereby finds that the Project is and will be
consistent with the general plan for the reasons advanced in the
Entitlements Resolution which reasons are incorporated herein by
reference.
VII. CEQA Findings, Mitigation Monitoring Program, and Statement of
Overriding Considerations.
A. Adoption of Findings.
The City Council does hereby approve, accept as its own,
incorporate as if set forth in full herein, and make each and
every one of the findings contained in the "Findings of Fact
Re Proposed Rancho Del Rey Commercial Center" attached to the
Entitlements Resolution as Attachment A.
B. Certain Mitigation Measures Feasible and Adopted.
As more fully identified and set forth in the master EIR for
the Rancho del Rey SPA I (EIR-87-01) and the supplemental
environmental document (EIR-92-02} and in the CEQA Findings
for this project, which is attached to the Entitlements
Resolution as Attachment A, the Council hereby finds pursuant
to Public Resources Code Section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines
Section 15091 that the mitigation measures described in the
above referenced documents are feasible and will become
binding upon the entity {such as the project proponent, the
City, or the school district) assigned thereby to implement
same.
C. Infeasibility of Alternatives.
As is also noted in the above referenced environmental
documents described in the above subparagraph B, alternatives
to the project which were identified as potentially feasible
in the EIR were found not to be feasible except the Site Plan
Alternative which is hereby rejected because the Project, as
mitigated, already reduces the impact on traffic to a level of
less than significance.
D. Adoption of Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
As required by the Public Resources Code Section 21081.6, the
City Council hereby adopts Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting
Program {"Program"} set forth in Attachment B to the
Entitlements Resolution incorporated herein by reference as
set forth in full. The Council hereby finds that the Program
is designed to ensure that during project implementation the
permittee/project applicant and any other responsible parties

implement the project components and comply with the feasible
mitigation measures identified in the Findings and the
Program.
E. Statement of Overriding Considerations.
Even after the adoption of all feasible mitigation measures
and any feasible alternatives, certain significant or
potentially significant environmental effects caused by the
project or cumulatively will remain. Therefore, the City
Council of the City of Chula Vista hereby issues, pursuant to
CEQA Guideline Section 15093, a Statement of Overriding
Considerations in the form set forth in Attachment C, attached
to the Entitlements Resolution and incorporated herein as if
set forth in full, identifying the specific economic, social,
and other considerations that render the unavoidable
significant adverse environmental effects acceptable.
