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

imposed to substantially reduce impacts.
b. The Planning Commission finds, in connection with Tentative Tract Map
SUBTT16867, that substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project
have not occurred that would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous
Mitigated Negative Declaration. In that the applicant proposes 12 single-family residences on the
previously approved 12-lot Tentative Tract Map (SUBTT16867). 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. In
that the previously approved lots are surrounded by existing single-family residential development and
the proposed residences meet all development criteria outlined in the Etiwanda Specific Plan.and the
City's Development Code.
