Public comments received after publication will be forwarded separately to the Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), an Addendum to the General Plan 2005-2025 Environmental Impact Report (EIR) (SCH No. 2005122139) was prepared to address the environmental impacts of the proposed project. CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 (a) provides that the Lead Agency shall prepare an Addendum to a previously certified EIR 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 have occurred (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(a)). Per CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the Addendum evaluated the proposed changes and documents the basis for the conclusion that: 1. The proposed changes would not result in the need for major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects: 2. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and 3. New information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following: a. The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; b. Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; Therefore, preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR is not required, and the Addendum has adequately addressed the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The Addendum, including attachments, is attached to Exhibit A. RECOMMENDATION 1. Adopt a resolution recommending the City Council adopt the Addendum to the General Plan EIR and find that the Addendum has been prepared in compliance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15264 and has adequately addressed the environmental impacts of the proposed project.
