WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have <br />occurred. <br />NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE, FIND AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: <br />SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by <br />reference. <br />SECTION 2. State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 requires lead agencies to <br />prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the <br />project are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent <br />EIR are present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the 1983 EIR, the <br />1996 Addendum, and the 2019 Addendum, and finds that these documents taken <br />together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all of the potential environmental <br />impacts associated with the MainPlace Project. The City Council further finds that the <br />2019 Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA <br />Guidelines. The City Council further finds and determines that the Addendum reflects <br />the City's independent judgment. <br />SECTION 3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including <br />but not limited to the 1983 EIR, the 1996 Addendum, and the 2019 Addendum, the City <br />Council finds that an addendum is the appropriate document for disclosing the changes <br />to the MainPlace Mall Property, and that none of the conditions identified in Public <br />Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring <br />subsequent environmental review have occurred, because: <br />(a) The MainPlace Project does not constitute a substantial change that <br />would require major revisions of the 1983 EIR due to the involvement of <br />new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the <br />severity of previously identified significant effects. <br />(b) There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under <br />which the MainPlace Project will be developed that would require major <br />revisions of the 1983 EIR due to the involvement of new significant <br />environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the <br />previously identified significant effects. <br />(c) New information of substantial importance has not been presented that <br />was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of <br />reasonable diligence at the time the 1983 EIR was certified or adopted, <br />showing any of the following: (i) that the modifications would have one or <br />more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental <br />documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be <br />substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental <br />documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously <br />found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially <br />5 5394.0005 3\32005762.1 <br />75D-42 <br />
