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 in June 2008 in connection with the City's approval of Tree Removal Permit DRC2007-00457. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is required in connection with subsequent 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. b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the Time Extension 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. No changes are proposed to the project; no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project was previously reviewed that indicates new or more severe environmental impacts; and no new important information shows that the project will have new or more severe impacts than previously considered. 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. The applicant is requesting a time extension and is not proposing any changes to the project. C. 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 DRC2013-00510 for the Tree Removal Permit DRC2007-00457. 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. 08-29 to read as follows: PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO, 13-34 TIME EXTENSION DRC2013-00510—JACK HALL July 24, 2013 Page 3 Planning Department 1) Approval is for the extension of the duration of the entitlement approval (Time Extension DRC2013-00510) for Tree Removal Permit DRC2007-00457 and modification of the applicable approval time limit as described in Standard Condition B.2 contained in Resolution No. 08-29 that was adopted by the Planning Commission on June 11, 2008. 2) The time extension of the entitlement approval is for two(2)years.
