AND ADOPTING A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
AND MITIGATION MONITORING PROGRAM THEREFOR
WHEREAS, the Town Council of the Town ofTiburon does resolve as follows:
Section 1. Findings.
A. The Town ofTiburon is proposing to adopt a Bicycle and Pedestrian Master
Plan. This Plan is intended to address a variety of issues related to bicycle and
pedestrian transportation in Tiburon. This Plan includes an inventory of existing
bicycle and pedestrian facilities and establish priorities for future bicycle and
pedestrian facilities in Tiburon. The Tiburon Plan has been adapted from the
Marin County Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan.
B.
The Tiburon Planning Department prepared an initial study for this project, along
with a draft Mitigation Monitoring Program, which determined that there were no
potentially significant environmental effects related to the project which could
not be mitigated through modification of the project and through mitigation
measures adopted as conditions of approval for the project.
-
C. The Tiburon Planning Department determined that based upon the Initial Study, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration was required for the project pursuant to the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
D. On June 20, 2001, a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration was completed. Notices
of such were posted, and advertised in the Ark newspaper to announce a 21-day
public review period from June 20,2001 to July 11, 2001 for review and comment
on the Initial Study/Draft Negative Declaration, in conformance with CEQA
requirements. A notice of the public hearing on the Draft Mitigated Negative
Declaration and the project applications was also posted, and published in the
Ark newspaper.
E. The Town Council held a duly noticed public hearing on July 18,2001 and heard
and considered testimony from interested persons. The Town Council found that
the Tiburon Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan would be consistent with policies
within the Circulation Element of the Tiburon General Plan that encourage
connection of Downtown pedestrian and bicycle trails with other trails in Tiburon
(policy C-30), and providing safe access to schools (policy C-34).
