C. The extension of the Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072 approval is not likely to
cause public health and safety problems; and
d. 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 certified an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) on June 16, 2004 in
connection with the City's approval of Tentative Tract Map SUBTT16072. 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 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 proposed time extension request does not raise or create new environmental impacts not
already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the tract map. 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.
The proposed time extension request does not raise or create new environmental impacts not
already considered in the Environmental Impact Report for the tract map.
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.
4. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, and 3 above, this
Commission hereby grants a time extension for:
