Consistent with the thresholds used by the Lead Agency (Alameda County) in the Prior FEIR and the City’s thresholds, the attached Addendum uses the standard environmental checklist categories provided in Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines but provides answer columns for evaluation consistent with the provisions of CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (a). 1.2 - Environmental Analysis and Conclusions CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (a) provides that the Lead Agency or a responsible agency (in this case, the City) shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or adopted Negative Declaration (ND) if some changes or additions are necessary but none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for preparation of a subsequent EIR or ND have occurred (CEQA Guidelines § 15164 (a)). An Addendum need not be circulated for public review but can be included in or attached to the Final EIR or ND (CEQA Guidelines § 15164 (c)). The decision-making body shall consider the Addendum to the Final EIR prior to making a decision on the proposed project (CEQA Guidelines § 15164 (d)). An agency must also include a brief explanation of the decision not to prepare a subsequent EIR or ND pursuant to Section 15162, which must be supported by substantial evidence in the record (CEQA Guidelines § 15164 (e)). Consequently, once an EIR has been certified or a ND adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR or ND is required under CEQA unless, based on substantial evidence:
