A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE MIDPENINSULA
REGIONAL OPEN SPACE DISTRICT ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE
DECLARATION INCLUDING A MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM IN
CONNECTION WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF THE POND MANAGEMENT PLAN
AT LA HONDA CREEK OPEN SPACE PRESERVE
1. The Board of Directors of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (District) has
reviewed the proposed Implementation of Pond Management Plan (Project) within the La
Honda Creek Open Space Preserve (Preserve).
11. An Initial Study (IS) was prepared for the proposed Project pursuant to the requirements of
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Public Resources Code sections 21000 et
seq.) and the CEQA Guidelines (14 Cal. Code. Regulations sections 15000 et seq.).
111. The IS identified potentially significant adverse effects on the environment from the
proposed project but found that mitigation measures for the proposed Project which were
made a part of the proposed Project would avoid the effects or mitigate the effects to a point
where clearly no significant effects would occur.
IV. The IS and a notice of intent to adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) and the
Mitigated Monitoring Program were circulated for public review from January 13, 2012 to
February 13, 2012.
V. On March 14, 2012 the Board of Directors conducted a duly noticed public hearing on the
adequacy of the MND (including the IS) at which oral and written comments and a staff
recommendation for approval of the MND were presented to the Board of Directors. The
Board of Directors reviewed and considered the information in the IS and MND as required
by CEQA.
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 the 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 and all comments raised during the public comment period and at the public
hearings on the MND were responded to adequately.
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 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.
5. The Board finds that, on the basis of the whole record before it, including the MND and all
comments received, there is no substantial evidence that the Project will have a significant
effect on the environment in that, although the 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 Program and requires 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 District Clerk
of the Mid peninsula Regional Open Space District, 330 Distel Circle, Los Altos, California
94022.
