Amend DA No. April 23, 2018 Page 5 1999-01, AA No. 2018-02 and GPA No. 2018-02 Dei is now proposing a third amendment to the development agreement to incorporate language requiring City participation.for off-site improvements. The parking structure project will require the completion of several off-site improvements to facilitate the project. The estimated cost for these off-site improvements is approximately $3.6 million. Mater Dei is proposing that the City contribute to the project by completing the following three off-site improvements: The installation of a new traffic signal at Bristol Street and St. Andrew Place, the removal and reconstruction of St. Andrew Place from Bristol Street to Baker Street, and the installation of a public alley and related improvements at the east side of the Mater Dei parking structure. These three improvements have an estimated cost of almost $1.8 million. Ther applicant is also proposing to include. in the agreement that will cap the City's contribution to no more than the value of those improvements, which is almost $1.8 million. Although the prior agreement had City participation, the current budget condition provides little to no flexibility in providing funds for private projects. Therefore, staff is recommending denial of the request to amend the development agreement. As an alternative to the City completing the improvements, the Public Works Agency has identified efficiencies to St. Andrew Place that will reduce the cost of the off-site improvements by approximately $450,000. Further, PWA staff is working with OCTA to pursue another $480,000 in efficiencies as part of the Bristol Street Widening Project that is currently. underway.- At this time, the $930,000 identified above appears to be the maximum contribution that can be made by the City.

The proposed project has been reviewed through previously certified Environmental Impact Report No. 2013-01. The certified Environmental Impact Report identified a series of impacts resulting from the plan. Several mitigation measures were incorporated into the Final EIR, with the applicable mitigation measures added to the conditions of approval for this project. The Reason(s) analysis studies several topics, including aesthetics, land use, noise, safety, Exempt or Analysis transportation and traffic. Further, the EIR included analysis on the rezoning and general plan redesignation of the parcels to be consistent with the Mater Dei campus, such as what is proposed for this project. A determination has been made that there are no new significant impacts or any project specific significant effects peculiar to this project. Therefore, in accordance with CEQA 15183, no additional environmental review is required as the project is consistent with the development studied under the certified EIR. The previously certified Mater Dei project EIR and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program is the appropriate document for the actions proposed. 75C-9
