ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines provides the appropriate threshdds for a Lead Agency to determine ~vhether a subsequent EIR is required fo: a minor change or addition to a project for which an approved E[R or Negative Declaration has been prepared. Under that anal~is, no subsequent EIR or Negative Declaratim shall be prepared fcr the project unless the Lead Agency (the City) determines: X X That substantial chants are made to the project that require major revisions of the previous EIR ' due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified si~ifieant effects. Substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require major revisions to/he previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects cra substantial increase in the severity of previously identified si~mificant effects. X New information of substantial in'portance, ~vhich was not known and could not have been known with the exemise cf reasonable diligence at the time the previoui EIR was certified, shc~vs that (a) the project Mil have one or more significant effects net discussed in the pre',ious EIR, or {b) that significant effects pre',iously examined will be substantiallymore severe than as shown in the previous EIR, (c) that mitigation measures er altemati~,~s that are considerably different frcra those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantiallyreduce one or more significant effects m the environment but project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or altematbe, or (d) that mitigation measures or alternatives that are cmsiderably different frcrn those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantiallyreduee one or more significant effects on the environment but project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or altemati'~e. The folloMng analysis has been prepared in acco-dance Mth the finding required in Section 15162 of the CEQA Guidelines. The anal)sis is presented in the same order of environmental issues evahiated in FE][R 96-01. Land Use Potential project-level and cumulative land use impacts asscciated xvith implementation &the DSC project were evaluated in FEIR 96-01. Mitigation measures were included in FEIR 96-01 to reduce potential land use irrpacts to a level considered less than significant. The proposed project, to increase the amount of development area asseciated vdth DSC Phase II, would not change the type of land uses permitted in SD65 or evaluated in FE1R 96-01. Implementation of the proposed project exceeds maximum allowable development area permitted under SD65 but ~muld be offset with the reducticn in the seating of the proposed theater frcrn 350 to 275 seats and would not result in newland use impacts beyond the impacts previously analyzed in FEIR 96-01. The changes to the project would not result in conflicts x~Sth other applicable planningpro~ams in the City of Santa Ann, nor would the proposed request substantiallyincrease the sexer/ty of any land use impact identified in FEIR 96-01.
