As conditioned pursuant to Section 3, Section 2. Environmental Compliance. An initial study was completed for the said applications which indicated that there would be potentially significant impacts with the development of the project. Consequently, it was determined that an Environmental Impact Report would be necessary for the project. Environmental Impact Report No. 348 was prepared by the applicant's consultant, Douglas Wood and Associates, Inc. and was reviewed by City staff. The Environmental Impact Report analyzed the significance of all the impacts and proposed mitigation measures included in the final EIR that reduced these impacts to an insignificant level with the exception of Seismic Safety, Noise, Climate and Air Quality, Wildlife and Vegetation, Circulation and Utilities and Service for which Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations have been included within the final EIR. Subsequent to preparation of the EIR two addenda were prepared for the project. The first, analyzed new technical information on traffic/circulation and drainage/flooding which resulted in additional mitigation measures which were incorporated into the FEIR. The second addendum was prepared to analyze the impacts of the a revision in the specific plan Land Use Plan which resulted from the public hearing process and reduced the density and intensity of the project. These two addenda did not raise important new issues about the significance of the impacts of the project. Therefore, staff recommends Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report No. 348 which includes the Draft EIR , the Response to Comments, the Mitigation Monitoring Program, Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations, the Staff Report and any associated attachments, and finds that it has been completed in compliance with the California Quality Act (CEQA).
