Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, no subsequent or supplemental EIR or Negative Declaration is PLANNING COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 22-16 TIME EXTENSION DRC2022-00126— RICHLAND COMMUNITIES, INC. May 25, 2022 Page 3 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 indicate 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 Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18908, 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. In March of 2022, a biological resource update letter was submitted as part of the request for the previous one (1) year time extension request. The March 2022 letter states that no substantial changes have occurred on the project site that would necessitate new or modified mitigation measures. The report also concluded that the recommended mitigation measures that were detailed in the 2002 Biological Resource Assessment is consistent with the site conditions that were observed in 2021. The application is for a one (1) year time extension of a previously approved Tentative Tract Map with no proposed changes to the scope of the original 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. C.

Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in Paragraphs 1, 2, 3 and 4 above, this Commission hereby grants a time extension.
