transit opportunities that are now availability. Therefore, under SB 743, aesthetic and parking impacts cannot be considered a significant impact within TPA's; and WHEREAS, on October 12, 2020 at a duly noticed public hearing, the Planning Commission considered the 2020 EIR Addendum for Site Plan Review No. 2020-03 and Variance No. 2020-06 when recommending that the City Council approve the Project; and WHEREAS, on December 1, 2020 at a duly noticed public hearing, the City Council considered the 2020 EIR Addendum for Amendment Application No. 2020-04; and 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 2010 EIR and the 2020 Addendum, and finds that these documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all of the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed development. The City Council further finds that the 2020 Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council further finds and determines that the EIR Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment. SECTION 3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not limited to the 2010 EIR and the 2020 Addendum, the City Council finds that an addendum is the appropriate document for disclosing the changes to the subject property, and that none of the conditions identified in Public Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring subsequent environmental review have occurred, because: (a) The proposed development does not constitute a substantial change that would require major revisions of the 2010 EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. (b) There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under which the proposed development will be developed that would require major revisions of the 2010 EIR due to the involvement of new significant Resolution No. 2020-xx Page 3 of 8 75C-321
