<br /> <br />Resolution No. 2024-XXX <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br /> <br />2. A fine not exceeding three thousand dollars ($3,000) for a second violation of <br />the same ordinance within one (1) year of the first violation. <br /> <br />3. A fine not exceeding five thousand dollars ($5,000) for each additional <br />violation of the same ordinance within one (1) year of the first violation. <br /> <br />B. Pursuant to California Government Code Section 36900(e), the citation recipient of a <br />fine may request a hardship waiver pursuant to the process established by the Director <br />of the City’s Planning and Building Agency. <br /> <br />Section 3. State CEQA Guidelines section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare an <br />addendum to a previously certified EIR if some changes or additions to the project are necessary, <br />but none of the conditions requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR are <br />present. The City Council has reviewed and considered the General Plan Update EIR (State <br />Clearinghouse No. 2020029087) (“GPU EIR”), the Addendum to the GPU EIR, and finds that <br />these documents taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all the potential <br />environmental impacts associated with this Resolution. The City Council finds that the <br />Addendum has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the State CEQA Guidelines. The <br />City Council further finds and determines that the Addendum reflects the City’s independent <br />judgment. <br /> <br />Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not limited to the <br />GPU EIR and the Addendum, the City Council finds that an addendum is the appropriate <br />document for disclosing the changes to the GPU, and that none of the conditions identified in <br />Public Resources Code section 21166 and State CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring <br />subsequent environmental review have occurred, because the Resolution does not change or alter <br />in any way the existing land use designations City-wide set forth in the General Plan Update and <br />analyzed in the GP EIR. No development, redevelopment, or change to existing development <br />type in the City is proposed or required to implement the Resolution. The buildout of housing <br />had previously been analyzed within the scope of the GPU EIR, and the Resolution would not <br />result in additional development of housing within the City. Based on these findings, the City <br />Council makes the following findings: <br /> <br />a) The Resolution does not constitute a substantial change that would require major <br />revisions of the GPU EIR due to the involvement of new significant <br />environmental effects. <br />b) There is not a substantial change with respect to the circumstances under which <br />the Resolution will be implemented that would require major revisions of the <br />GPU due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a <br />substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects. <br />c) New information of substantial importance has not been presented that was not <br />known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence <br />at the time the GPU was certified or adopted, showing any of the following: (i) <br />that the modifications would have one or more significant effects not discussed in <br />the earlier environmental documentation; (ii) that significant effects previously
