The extension of the approval of the Conditional Use Permit will not be detrimental to the public health, safety or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and f. The extension is within the time limits established by State law and local ordinance. 3. Based upon the facts and information contained in the application, together with all written and oral reports included for the environmental assessment for the application,the Planning Commission finds that no subsequent or supplemental environmental document is required pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) in connection with the review and approval of this application based upon the following findings and determinations: a. Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the City's local CEQA Guidelines, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration on April 24, 2002, in connection with the City's approval of Conditional Use Permit DRC2001-00493 for the approval of the initial project. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent or discretionary approvals of the same project unless: (i) substantial changes are proposed to the project that indicate new or more severe impacts on the environment; (ii) substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; or (iii) new important information shows the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered; or(iv) additional mitigation measures are now feasible to reduce impacts or different mitigation measures can be imposed to substantially reduce impacts. In 2008, staff evaluated Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926 and concluded that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred,which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration. At that time, the applicant proposed a less intense project by consolidating the initial Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall buildings into a smaller single structure that reduced the building height, square footage, and building mass by eliminating approximately 1,900 square feet. In the initial proposal, these two functions (i.e., the Gymnasium and Fellowship Hall) were provided in separate buildings on two levels. In the revised proposal the buildings were combined into a single Multi-Purpose Hall that would be located on a lower mid plaza level. Staff has evaluated Time Extension DRC2013-00093 and concludes that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred, which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration since the applicant is proposing a time extension to the previous approval. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous Mitigated Negative Declaration, not have more severe effects than previously analyzed, and that additional or different mitigation measures are not required to reduce the impacts of the project to a level of less-than-significant. Therefore, pursuant to CEQA, Staff recommends that the Planning Commission concur with the Staff determination that no additional environmental review is required in connection with the City's consideration of Time Extension DRC2013-00093. b. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the Planning Commission concurs with the staff determination that no additional environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA in connection with the City's consideration of the Time Extension DRC2013-00093 for Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926. 4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above,this Commission hereby extends the duration of an existing entitlement approval by an additional two (2) years and modifies the conditions of approval contained in Resolution No. 08-62 to read as follows: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 13-31 TIME EXTENSION DRC2013-00093— LIFEWAY CHURCH July 24, 2013 Page 3 Planning Department 1) Approval is for the extension of the duration of the entitlement approval (Time Extension DRC2013-00093) for Conditional Use Permit DRC2006-00926 and modification of the applicable approval time limit as described in Planning Condition #2 contained in Resolution No. 08-62 that was adopted by the Planning Commission on October 22, 2008. 2) The time extension of the entitlement approval is for two(2)years.
