Map No. 62342, in the records of the Los Angeles County Assessor; and
WHEREAS, the proposed project is considered a "project" pursuant to the terms of the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA); and
WHEREAS, an initial study was prepared for said project; and
WHEREAS, based upon the findings of the initial study, it was determined that the
proposed project will not have a significant impact on the environment and will not individually
or cumulatively have an adverse effect on wildlife resources, as defined in Section 711.2 of the
California Fish and Wildlife Code; and
WHEREAS, a Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Impact was prepared for
the proposed project pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970, as amended, and mitigation measures are included in said Negative Declaration in support
of the finding that there will not be a significant effect on the environment as a result of this
project.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission upon giving the required notice did on the 25°i
day of June, 2013, conduct a duly advertised public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said
application.
WHEREAS, the City Council, upon giving the required notice, did on the 16"' day of

NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of West Covina does hereby resolve
as follows:
SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct, which are incorporated herein.
SECTION 2. In accordance with the CEQA Guidelines, an Initial Study was prepared to
determine whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of
the Initial Study prepared for the Project, it has been determined that the Project may have a
potential significant effect on the environment which, however, will be mitigated to a level that
is less than significant and therefore, a Mitigated Negative Declaration has. been prepared and
adopted as part of this application. The Mitigated negative Declaration was circulated for a
period of not less than 20 days pursuant to CEQA Guideline § 15105(b). The City Council here
adopts the Mitigated Negative Declaration (referred. as Attachment 16 of the staff report) as
adequate to assess the environmental impacts of the project, based on the findings contained
Resolution No. 2013-53

herein and finds, on the basis of the whole record, that.there is no substantial evidence that the
project will have a significant effect on the environment and that the approval of the Mitigated
Negative Declaration reflects the City of West Covina City Council's independent judgment and
analysis. The City Council here adopts the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program
(attached hereto as Exhibit A). The full record is available for review, in the Community
Development Department.
SECTION 3. Non-compliance with the aforementioned mitigation measures as by the
monitoring department/agency and any measures taken to correct said non-compliance shall be

area sufficiently damped to control dust caused by construction, hauling and at all times provide
reasonable control of dust caused by wind.
Mitigation Measure No. 4 (Air Quality). All materials transported off --site shall either be sufficiently
watered or securely covered to prevent excessive amounts of dust and spillage.
Mitigation Measure No. g (Air Quality). All clearing, earthmoving, or excavation activities shall be

contact the City of West Covina Planning Department. AQ.paleontologist will then examine the materials
to ascertain their significance. If this review determines the materials are significant, salvage will be
undertaken by the paleontologist. Other construction work may continue outside of the area of the find
though no further work shall occur in the immediate location of the find until all recovery has been
completed to the City's satisfaction. The applicant shall bear the cost of implementing this mitigation.
Mitigation No.10 (Cultural Resources). In the event archaeological resources are encountered during

to be of a Native American origin, the Coroner shall contact the Native American Heritage Commission for
further investigations and proper recovery of such remains. The applicant shall bear the cost of
implementing this mitigation.
The following mitigation measure has been identified as a means to control storm water runoff and potential

Municipal Code to ensure that storm water runoff is managed for water quality concerns through
implementation of appropriate and applicable best management practices (BMPs). Prior to issuance of any
grading or building permits, the City of West Covina Department of Public Works shall approve the
SUSMP.
The following mitigation measures are required to mitigate potential hazardous materials impacts:

existing buildings on the project site, prior to the, issuance of the demolition permit for the buildings, the
Project Applicant shall provide a letter to the City of West Covina Building Department from a qualified
lead paint abatement contractor demonstrating that while LBP is present in the buildings, it shall be
abated in compliance with applicable state and federal rules andregulations governing LBP abatement
prior to other demolition activities at the building. The qualified lead paint abatement contractor shall
comply with Cal -OSHA Construction Safety Orders, California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 1532.1
andwith the California Health and Safety Code, Division 20; Chapter 6.5 for the evaluation, handling and

Mitigation Measure No. 18 (Hydrology and Water Quality Impacts). All waste shall lie disposed of
properly. Use of appropriately labeled recycling bins to recycle construction materials includes: solvents,
water -based paints, vehicle fluids, broken asphalt and concrete, wood, and vegetation. Non -recyclable
materials/wastes shall be taken to an appropriate landfill. Toxic wastes must be discarded at a licensed
regulated disposal site.
'Mitigation Measure No. 19 (Hydrology and Water Quality Impacts).Leaks, drips and spill shall be
cleaned up immediately to prevent contaminated soil on paved surfaces that can be washed away into

maintained at all times:
Mitigation Measure No. 29 (Hydrology and Water Quality Impacts). Materials with the potential to
contaminate stormwater must be: (i) placed in an enclosure such as, but not limited to, a cabinet, shed or
similar structure that prevents contact with runoff spillage to'the storm water conveyance system; or (2)
protected by secondary containment structures such as berms, dikes, or curbs.

using any of the following materials: masonry block, stucco on wood frame, 3/4" plywood,1/a" tempered
glass on 1/2" Lexan, an earthen berm, or any combination of the above materials or any material with a
surface weight of atleast.3 pounds per square -foot. Each completed noise control'barrier must present a
solid face from top -to -bottom and from end -to -end. Cutouts are not permitted except for drain holes.
Mitigation Measure No.37 (Noise Impacts). The buildings shall be constructed, at a minimum, in

81, 94 through 96, 111, 112, 127 and 128
Mitigation Measure No.38 (Noise Impacts). The noise analysis assumed that all windows and doors are
kept closed. If the allowable interior noise levels are met by requiring that windows and doors be kept
closed, then the design of the structure must also specify a ventilation or air conditioning system to
provide a habitable interior environment. The ventilation system must not compromise the dwelling or
guest room noise reduction.
Mitigation Measure No.39 (Noise Impacts). The project's construction must conform to the unit -to -unit

noise levels.
Mitigation Measure No. 43 (Noise Impacts). The construction staging area shall be located as far as
feasible from sensitive receptors.
Mitigation Measure No. 44 (Noise Impacts). All construction equipment shall be stored on the project
