• Conclusion This document constitutes the Addendum to the MacArthur Place South Final Environmental Impact Report SCH 200406 1 1 40 (EIR) as adopted and certified by the City of Santa Ana. This document complies with all relevant California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) standards to determine if the EIR remains adequate to address the impacts resulting from the proposed project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15164. Approval of the Addendum by the City will not require circulation of the document for public review. (CEQA Guidelines § 15164) The Addendum will be included as part of the Final Environmental Impact Report. No changes or modifications are proposed to the original project that would require major revisions to the EIR. Additional mitigation measures are provided in the Addendum to reduce impacts from the project to a less than significant level. No new information of substantial importance or new significant impacts will result from the conversion of originally entitled uses described above to the hotel and the previously approved project consistent with CEQA Section 15064. Based on the analysis herein, the MacArthur Place South EIR remains adequate and complete for the project modifications discussed in this Addendum. The Addendum will require approval by the City of Santa Ana Planning Commission and City Council. In taking action on the Addendum the City, as Lead Agency, must consider the whole of the data presented in the MacArthur Place South Final EIR and this Addendum to the EIR. No additional approvals are necessary. Pursuant to CEQA §21166 and §15162, there is no evidence that the project or its underlying circumstances have changed in a way that exposes new or more severe impacts than those reported in the MacArthur Place South Final Environmental Impact Report as addended. Furthermore, there is no new information that indicates project alternatives or mitigation measures previously found infeasible are now feasible or have not been accepted and incorporated into the project. Therefore, reliance on the Final Environmental Impact • Report as addended will still provide the public and decision makers with all information necessary to evaluate the plan from an environmental perspectwe. • Resolution No. 2009-025 Page 51 of 95 MacArthur Place South EIR Addendum 53
