BACKGROUND <br /> <br />The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the State EIR <br />Guidelines (Guidelines) promulgated pursuant thereto provide: <br /> <br />"No public agency shall approve or carry out a project for <br />which an environmental impact report has been completed and <br />which Identifies one or more significant effects of the project <br />unless the public agency makes one or more written findings for <br />each of those significant effects accompanied by a statement of <br />the facts supporting each flndlng." (Guidelines Section 15088) <br /> <br />The possible findings are: <br /> <br />Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, <br />the project or are otherwise being Implemented which avoid or <br />substantially lessen the significant environmental effect as identified in <br />the Draft EIR and the Addendum; <br /> <br />Such changes or alterations are within the responsibility or <br />jurisdiction of another public agency and not the agency making the <br />finding. Such changes have been adopted by such other agency, or <br />can and should be adopted by such other agency; <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible <br />mitigation measures not Identified in the Draft Ell'a` or the Addendum, <br />or project alternatives Identified in the Draft Ella,. <br /> <br />The Draft EIR, prepared in November 1989, Identified a variety of <br />environmental effects and corresponding mitigation measures to minimize <br />the potentially adverse effects of a proposed 15 story office tower in <br />Hutton Centre, City of Santa Aha. Subsequently, an Addendum to the Draft <br />EIR was prepared In November 1990 for a revised project design of 10 <br />storles on the same site. The Addendum to the Draft EII~ has supplemented <br />the environmental assessment of the project by identifying the effects of a <br />10 story project alternative and appropriate corresponding mitigation, in <br />addition to alternatives of other intensities examined in tile Draft EIR. <br /> <br />In accordance with CEQA, changes made to the Draft EII~ by the Addendum <br /> <br /> <br />
