  1.  The City Council finds, based on its independent judgment, after consideration of the entire administrative record, including Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena Redevelopment Project Environmental Impact Report (SCH No. 2010041059)(EIR), certified by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission on February 2, 2011, and the Addendum to the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena Redevelopment project Environmental Impact Report, ENV-2015-2497-EIR, SCH No. 2010041059 (Addendum), adopted by the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Commission on September 17, 2015, all of the following:

       
  1. All mitigation measures identified in the EIR, within the control of the City to mitigate impacts defined by CEQA Guidelines, section 15096(g)(1), as those caused by the project have been imposed on or incorporated into the project.

  2. There are no feasible alternatives or feasible mitigation measures within the City’s powers that would substantially lessen or avoid any significant effect the project would have on the environment.

  3. The findings (included among the attached findings for) required by CEQA Guidelines, section 15096(h), for each significant effect identified in the EIR (prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15091), and the Statement of Overriding Considerations (prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines, section 15093), are appropriate and adopted.
