NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the foregoing recitals are true and correct and made a part of this resolution. 2 of 4 BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission makes the following findings to support the determination that no further environmental review is required under CEQA for the proposed Project. These findings are based on information contained in the CEQA Addendum, prior CEQA documents, the Planning Commission Staff Report, and all other information contained in the record before the Planning Commission. These findings constitute a summary of the information contained in the entire record. The detailed facts to support the findings are set forth in the CEOA Addendum and related Initial Study, the prior CEQA documents, and elsewhere in the record. Other facts and information in the record that support each finding that are not included below are incorporated herein by reference: 1. The proposed Project does not constitute substantial changes to the previous projects affecting the Project site, as addressed in the prior CEQA documents, that will require major revisions to prior documents due to new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in severity of previously identified significant effects. Based on the Initial Study, all potentially significant effects of the proposed Project are the same or less than the impacts for the Eastern Dublin and Jordan Ranch projects which were previously addressed. The proposed Project will not result in substantially more severe significant impacts than those identified in the prior CEQA documents. All previously adopted mitigation measures continue to apply to the proposed Project and project site as applicable. 2. The Initial Study and Addendum did not identify any new significant impacts of the proposed Project that were not analyzed in prior CEQA documents. 3. The City is not aware of any new information of substantial importance or substantial changes in circumstances that would result in new or substantially more severe impacts or meet any other standards in CEQA Section 21166 and related CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162/3. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Planning Commission recommends the following to the City Council: 1. No further environmental review under CEQA is required for the proposed Project because there is no substantial evidence in the record as a whole that any of the standards under Sections 21166 or 15162/3 are met. 2. The City has properly prepared a CEOA Addendum and related Initial Study under CEQA Guidelines section 15164 to explain its decision not to prepare a subsequent or supplemental EIR or conduct further environmental review for the proposed Project. 3. The City Council adopt the CEOA Addendum and related Initial Study, attached as Exhibit A, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15164 for the Project and make any further required CEQA findings.
