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 2010 EIR and the <br />2019 Addendum, and finds that these documents taken together contain a complete <br />and accurate reporting of all of the potential environmental impacts associated with the <br />proposed development. The City Council further finds that the 2019 Addendum has <br />been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The City <br />Council further finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City's independent <br />judgment. <br />Section 3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including <br />but not limited to the 2010 EIR and the 2019 Addendum, the City Council finds that an <br />addendum is the appropriate document for disclosing the changes to the subject <br />property, and that none of the conditions identified in Public Resources Code section <br />21166 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental <br />review have occurred, because: <br />(a) The proposed development does not constitute a substantial change that <br />would require major revisions of the 2010 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 proposed development will be developed that would require <br />major revisions of the 2010 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 2010 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 />reduce one or more significant effects, but the applicant declined to adopt <br />such measures; or (iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives <br />considerably different from those analyzed previously would substantially <br />reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the <br />applicant declined to adopt. <br />Section 4. The City Council hereby finds that mitigation measures identified in <br />the 2010 EIR remain applicable to the Transit Zoning Code.
