6. On November 26, 1984, the City Council certified the Warland /Cypress Business
Center Environmental Impact Report in conjunction with the adoption of the Warland /Cypress
Business Center Specific Plan. The Warland /Cypress Business Center Environmental Impact
Report analyzed all potential impacts of development of the Warland /Cypress Business Center
including cumulative impacts, at the full buildout levels permitted by the Specific Plan. The EIR
recommended a variety of mitigation measures which were adopted by the City Council in
conjunction with its adoption of the Specific Plan.
7. On February 8, 1993, the City certified the Cypress General Plan Update EIR in
conjunction with the adoption of the City's 1993 General Plan Update. The Cypress General
Plan Update EIR analyzed the impacts of development of business park uses, including, but not
limited to, land use, noise, air quality, transportation /circulation, and cumulative impacts, at the
full buildout levels permitted by the General Plan. The EIR recommended a variety of
mitigation measures which were adopted by the City Council in conjunction with its adoption
of the General Plan Update.
8. Based on the analysis in the Cypress Land Company Speculative Building Initial
Study, the City Council finds that:
(a) The level of development in the Warland /Cypress Business Center is far
below the full buildout levels of development analyzed in the Warland /Cypress
Business Center EIR and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR;
(b) The impacts of the proposed project, including the cumulative impacts are
less than those analyzed in the Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and the
Cypress General Plan Update EIR and no additional mitigation measures beyond
those recommended in the Cypress Land Company Speculative Building Initial
Study are necessary;
(c) The proposed project will have no additional impacts not analyzed in the
Cypress Land Company Initial Study;
(d) With incorporation of the mitigation measures recommended in the
Cypress Land Company Speculative Building Initial Study, including the
applicable mitigation measures adopted in conjunction with the approval of the
Warland /Cypress Business Center Specific Plan, and the 1993 General Plan
Update, the proposed amended project will not have significant impacts on the
environment.
9. The zoning designation for the site and the Warland /Cypress Business Center
Specific Plan permits the density of development on the site which would be permitted by
Conditional Use Permit 95 -11. The Cypress Land Company Speculative Building Initial Study
reveals that there are no significant impacts upon the environment peculiar to the site or which
were not addressed as significant impacts in the Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR or which
substantial new information shows would be more significant than described in the
Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR.
10. The project is consistent with the City of Cypress General Plan. The Cypress
Land Company Speculative Building Initial Study revealed that there are no significant impacts
upon the environment peculiar to the site or the project which were not addressed as significant
impacts in the Cypress General Plan Update EIR, or which substantial new information shows
would be more significant than described in the Cypress General Plan Update EIR.
11. The project is within the scope of the Warland /Cypress Business Center Specific
Plan and the Cypress General Plan Update, the environmental impacts of which were examined
in the Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR.
92
12. The Cypress Land Speculative Building Initial Study shows that the project will
not result in any significant impacts on the environment which were not examined in the
Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR.
13. A subsequent environmental impact report is not required pursuant to Public
Resources Code §21166 in that:
(a) The project is consistent with the policies, goals and regulations of the
Warland /Cypress Business Center Specific Plan and the Cypress General Plan
Update, the environmental impacts of which were examined in the
Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR;
(b) Since the certification of the Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and
the Cypress General Plan Update EIR no substantial changes in circumstances in
the project area have occurred; and
(c) No new information has become available since the certification of the
Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR and the Cypress General Plan Update EIR
which would require any important change in the analysis in those EIRs.
14. In conjunction with the adoption of this resolution, the City Council is adopting
the conditions and mitigation measures attached hereto as Exhibit "A ", which will avoid all
potential impacts of the amended project or mitigate them to levels of insignificance.
15. Prior to taking action on this resolution, the City Council reviewed and considered
the Warland /Cypress Business Center EIR, the Cypress General Plan Update EIR, the Cypress
Land Speculative Building Initial Study and the mitigated negative declaration prepared for this
project.
16. The mitigated negative declaration adopted for this project reflects the independent
judgment of the City Council.
17. Considering the record as a whole, there is no evidence that the proposed project
will have the potential for an adverse effect on wildlife resources on the habitat on which
wildlife depends. Any presumption of an adverse effect on wildlife resources or habitat has been
rebutted through the substantial evidence in the record.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that:
1. The City Council of the City of Cypress does hereby approve the Conditional Use
Permit 95 -11, subject to the Conditions of Approval and mitigation measures attached
hereto as Exhibit "A ";
2. The City Council of the City of Cypress does hereby adopt the mitigated negative
declaration and the mitigation monitoring program for Conditional Use Permit 95 -11 and
