CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT FINDING: The Planning
Commission has reviewed the proposal to amend the Circulation Element of the General Plan to
reclassify Douglas Road from a local street to a Secondary Arterial, designated as General Han

independent review of Environmental Impact Report No. 343 prepared in connection with the
