eliminate entirely the si9nificant environmental impacts which have been

identified in Final EIR No. 262. However, the benefits of the project have
been balanced against the unavoidable environmental impact and pucsuant to the
provisions of Section 15093 of the State CEQA Guidelines, the occurrence of
the significan~ environmental effects identified in Final EIR No. 262 and as
set forth above may be permitred without furthec mitigation due to the
following overriding considerations: (1) after completion, the proposed
project is expected to generate a net fiscal surplus of $1,620,500 per year
for the City. This will provide funds for the operation of programs for the
benefit of all Anaheim residents which would not otherwise be economically
feasible; (2) the proposed project will provide a balanceci development which
is compatible with and complementary to the adjacent commercial-recreation
area; and (3} the proposed project will provide employment for an esti.mated
4,200 persons; therefore, the Planning Commission hereby certifies EIR No. 262
for the Riviera Pzoject and adopts this Statement of Overriding Considerations.
BE iT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT, pursuant to the f~regoing findings, the
Anaheim City Planning Commission does hereby adopt and recommend to the City
Council of the City of Anaheim adoption of General Plan Amendment No. 185 -
Land Use Element, Exhibit A.
