In fact, the evolution of the Project from the development <br />analyzed in the Draft FIR to the October 2019 Project analyzed in the Clarification demonstrates <br />the power of CEQA and reflect how CEQA was envisioned to operate. It was as a result of the <br />public review and comment process that modifications were made to the Original Project which <br />have resulted in greater benefits and a reduction in environmental impacts. The City's <br />envirommental analysis supports approval of the October 2019 Project and provides substantial <br />evidence as to why recirculation of the environmental documents is not legally required. <br />Lastly, the City's rezoning does not constitute spot zoning. The change from <br />Professional to Specific Development for this property is not spot zoning, nor is it an <br />unreasonable exercise by the City of its police powers. It furthers the goals and policies of the <br />General Plan and is supported by findings and evidence in the record. <br />For these reasons, we request the City to adopt the ordinances on second reading. <br />Very truly yours, , L <br />Susan K.
