ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT On January 4, 2012, the City Council certified a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (SEIR) and adopted the CEQA Findings and a Statement of Overriding Considerations for the Housing Element update and Climate Action Plan General Plan Amendment and Rezonings. This SEIR was a supplement to the EIR prepared for the Pleasanton 2005-2025 General Plan which was certified in July 2009. The subject property was one of 21 potential housing sites analyzed in the SEIR. A total of 177 multi-family housing units was analyzed in the SEIR for this site. Under CEQA, once an EIR has been prepared for a project, the lead agency (in this case, the City) may not require a subsequent or supplemental EIR unless: • Substantial changes are proposed in the project that will require major revisions of the EIR; ® Substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that will require major revisions in the EIR; or O New information, which was not known and could not have been known at the time the EIR was certified as complete, becomes available. The CEQA Guidelines further clarify the circumstances under which a supplemental or subsequent EIR may be required. Guidelines Section 15162 provides as follows: (a) When an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, one or more of the following: (1) Substantial changes are proposed in the project which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; (2) Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR or negative PUD-103/Summerhill Apartment Communities Planning Commission Page 31 of 34
