That the City Council does hereby find and certify that the IS/MND has been prepared and completed in compliance with CEQA.
The City Council was presented with, and has independently reviewed and analyzed the IS/MND and other information in the record and has considered the information contained therein, including the written and oral comments received at the public hearings on the IS/MND and the Project, attached as Exhibit “A”, prior to acting upon or approving the Project, and has found that the IS/MND represents the independent judgment of the City of Manteca (“City”) as lead agency for the Project, and designates the Director of Development Services, at his office at 1215 W.
