A. Recitals.

hearing on the application and concluded said hearing on that date.

Part A, of this Resolution are true and correct.
2. Based upon substantial evidence presented to this City Council during the above-
referenced hearing on June 17, 2015, including written and oral staff reports, this Council hereby
specifically finds as follows:

C. The extension of the Development Agreement will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare, or materially injurious to properties or improvements in the vicinity; and
d. The extension request was received within the time limits established by Section
17.14.090 (C) of the Development Code.
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 City
Council 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 Council certified an Environmental Impact Report on July 7, 2004 (State
Clearing House #2002091053) in connection with the City's approval of Annexation DRC2002-
00865, Tentative Tract SUBTT16072 and Development Agreement DRC2002-00156. 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. Staff has evaluated the
request for an extension of the Development Agreement and concludes that substantial changes to
the project or the circumstances surrounding the project have not occurred and are not proposed
which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previously certified EIR.
In that the request would provide additional time for the developer to work with the City to address
requirements of the Development Agreement, staff finds that the extension will not have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previously certified EIR, 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.
b. Based on these findings and all evidence in the record, the City Council 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 DRC2015-00469 for Development
Agreement DRC2002-00156.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this
Council hereby extends the term of Development Agreement DRC2002-00156 by an additional one
(1) year, attached thereto and incorporated herein by this reference, to expire on August 17, 2016.
5. The Secretary to this Council shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
