The Planning Commission finds, in connection with the time extension request,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 previously certified EIR. The proposal only involves a request to extend the approval period of a previously approved Tentative Tract Map. The proposal does not involve any changes or modifications to the design of the previously approved subdivision. Staff further finds that the project 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.
