Resolution No. 2019-xx Page 6 of 10 WHEREAS, the City has prepared “Clarifications to the Final EIR (October 2019)” to determine if the October Modified Project would result in new or substantially increased environmental effects than those analyzed in the EIR such that the EIR would require recirculation prior to its certification; and WHEREAS, the Clarifications to the Final EIR include detailed analysis, based upon substantial evidence, that demonstrate that the October Modified Project would not result in any new or substantially greater impacts than are disclosed in the EIR, no new mitigation measures beyond those identified in the EIR are required, and no additional feasible alternatives or mitigation measures considerably different from others previously analyzed would clearly lessen the significant environmental impacts of the project; and WHEREAS, October 18, 2019, the City gave public notice of a Planning Commission public hearing for consideration of Environmental Impact Report No. 2018- 01 (State Clearinghouse Number #2018021031) by advertising in the Orange County Register a newspaper of general circulation, and on October 17, 2019 by mailing to owners of property and residents within 500 feet of the Project and posting on the project site; and WHEREAS, on October 28, 2019, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for consideration of Environmental Impact Report No. 2018-01 (State Clearinghouse Number #2018021031), and Clarifications to the EIR, at which time all persons wishing to testify were heard and the Project was fully considered; and WHEREAS, the “EIR” consists of the Final EIR, Clarifications to the Final EIR, and all attachments and appendices to both the Final EIR and the Clarifications to the Final EIR, as well as the Draft EIR and its attachments and appendices (as modified by the Final EIR); and WHEREAS, all potentially significant adverse environmental impacts were sufficiently analyzed in the EIR; and WHEREAS, as contained herein, the Planning Commission has endeavored in good faith to set forth the basis for its decision and recommendations on the Project; and WHEREAS, all of the requirements of the Public Resources Code and the State CEQA Guidelines have been satisfied by the City in connection with the preparation of the EIR, which is sufficiently detailed so that all of the potentially significant environmental effects of the Project have been adequately evaluated; and WHEREAS, all of the findings and conclusions made by the Planning Commission pursuant to this Resolution are based upon the oral and written evidence presented to it as a whole and the entirety of the administrative record for the Project, 2-26
