Section 2. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") and
<br />the State CEQA Guidelines section 15164, lead agencies are required to prepare an
<br />addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are
<br />necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR are
<br />present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the 2004 EIR and the 2020
<br />Addendum, and finds that these documents taken together contain a complete and
<br />accurate reporting of all of the potential environmental impacts associated with the
<br />proposed development. The City Council further finds that the 2020 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 />legal, equitable, declaratory, administrative or adjudicatory in nature), and alternative

<br />and such other procedures), judgments, orders, and decisions (collectively "Actions"),
<br />brought against the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents,
<br />departments, agencies, and instrumentalities thereof, that challenge, attack, or seek
<br />to modify, set aside, void, or annul, any action of, or any permit or approval issued by
<br />the City and/or any of its officials, officers, employees, agents, departments,

<br />the City) for or concerning the project, whether such Actions are brought under the
<br />Ralph M. Brown Act, California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning and Zoning
<br />Law, the Subdivision Map Act, Code of Civil Procedure sections 1085 or 1094.5, or

<br />regulation, or any decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. It is expressly agreed
<br />that the City shall have the right to approve, which approval will not be unreasonably
