A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE MIDPENINSULA REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT ADOPTING THE
MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION, THE MITIGATION MONITORING
PROGRAM,AND THE FINDINGS IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED
ALPINE POND HABITAT RESTORATION AND INTERPRETIVE
BOARDWALK PROJECT (SKYLINE RIDGE OPEN SPACE PRESERVE)
WHEREAS The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District ("District")
has reviewed the proposed Alpine Pond Habitat Restoration and Interpretive Boardwalk Project and all
associated actions ("the Project") and has reviewed the Mitigated Negative Declaration ("MND")
analyzing the environmental effects of the Project;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the District Board of Directors that, based upon the
Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring Program, all comments received,
and all substantial evidence in light of the whole record presented, the Board of Directors finds that:
1. Notice of the availability of the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration and all hearings
on the MND was given as required by law and the actions were conducted pursuant to California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the CEQA Guidelines.
2. All interested parties desiring to comment on the MND were given the opportunity to submit oral
and written comments on the adequacy of the MND prior to this action by the Board of
Directors. No comments were received.
3. Prior to approving the Project that is the subject of the MND, the Board has considered the
MND, along with all comments received during the public review process.
4. The MND finds potentially significant effects with respect biological resources, cultural
resources, and water quality and the Board hereby finds that these effects will be mitigated or
avoided by the changes made in the Project as described in the Initial Study and the MND.
S. The Board finds that, on the basis of the whole record before it, including the Initial Study and
MND, that there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant effect on the
environment in that, although the proposed Project could have significant effect on the
environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case since Mitigation Measures have
been made a part of the Project to avoid such effects.
6. The Board adopts the MND and determines that the MND reflects the District's independent
judgment and analysis.
7. The Board adopts the attached Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program and will require it
to be implemented as part of the Project.
8. The location and custodian of the documents or other material which constitute the record of
proceedings upon which this decision is based are located at the offices of the General Manager
of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, 330 Distel Circle, Los Altos,
California 94022.
