The scope and budget <br />augmentation assumes there would be no increases In intensity (FAR) or substantial changes to the <br />building envelope, and no need for recirculation of the Draft EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines 15088.5. <br />Addendum Approach <br />MBA's proposed approach would be to prepare an Addendum chapter to the previously prepared <br />Responses to Comments/Final EIR that would describe and illustrate the changes to the project design <br />and review the changes in light of previous analysis and findings for Aesthetics/Views/Light and Glare <br />Impacts. The factual basis would be established for a determination that design changes would not result <br />in any significant changes in other impact categories. <br />Due to the lapse in time, there Is some concern that the baseline conditions for the Traffic Impact Study <br />may have changed significantly. MBA's overall Impression, however, is that traffic conditions in the vicinity <br />of the project have remained essentially the same since the TIS and responses to comments were <br />prepared. To verify this we would propose that MBA's traffic consultant conduct new traffic counts at the <br />intersections and roadway segments previously studied. The traffic consultant would also document and <br />verify field conditions and collect such other traffic data as is necessary to supplement the traffic counts. A <br />brief letter of findings would be prepared providing support for reliance upon the previous traffic findings, <br />responses to comments and mitigation measures. <br />The Addendum would be integrated as a chapter of the previous Response to Comments/Final EIR, which <br />would then be made available to all previous commenters on the Draft EIR at least 10 days prior to the <br />next Planning Commission hearing to take action on the project. Note that this approach assumes there <br />would be no need for further written responses to any comments that may be received on the RTC/Final <br />EIR prior to hearings. <br />ENl'IKON\[NN'1':\l.$HK\-'ICF�C PLANNIN60 • \TATUR: 1.
