Discussion ensued regarding the Environmental Impact Report and the need to mitigate effects from the project~ Council was concerned that no detailed miti- gation measures could be imposed. since the information in the Environmental Impact Report and the project were both general in nature.

The Council's at[ion would have to be referred back to the Plan- ning Commission since no conditions were imposed by the Planning Conm~ission. After considerable discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Mercer, and seconded by Councilmembe~TM Her!ihy, that Resolution No, 76-1i0, certifying that the Environmental Impact Report on the Willow-West Properties had been reviewed and considered, was in compliance with CEQA and the State guidelines, that the appropriate boundaries of the area h~d been described, and that mitigation measures had been proposed based on available information, and indicating that additional information on the environmental impacts of development and the manner in which they will be mitigated will have to be addressed in subsequent Environmental Impact Reports pertaining to each phase of the projec't, be adopted. 5/10/76
