55394.00053\32005762.1 WHEREAS, all other legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred. NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA DOES RESOLVE, DETERMINE, FIND AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The above recitals are true and correct and incorporated herein by reference. SECTION 2. State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the 1983 EIR, the 1996 Addendum, and the 2019 Addendum, and finds that these documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all of the potential environmental impacts associated with the MainPlace Project. The City Council further finds that the 2019 Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council further finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent judgment. SECTION 3.

(b) There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under which the MainPlace Project will be developed that would require major revisions of the 1983 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. (c) New information of substantial importance has not been presented that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the 1983 EIR was certified or adopted, showing any of the following: (i) that the modifications would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the earlier environmental documentation; (iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially
