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
21, 2004(State Clearing House#2003081085)in connection with the City's approval
of Annexation DRC2003-10151, Tentative Tract SUBTT14749 and Development
Agreement DRC2003-00411. 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 Time Extension
request 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 Time Extension is being requested in order to provide additional time for the
developer to work with the City to address requirements of the Development
Agreement, 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.
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
DRC2014-00876 for Development Agreement DRC2003-00411.
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 DRC2003-00411 by an
additional one(1)year, attached thereto and incorporated herein by this reference,to expire
on January 18, 2016.
5. The Secretary to this Council shall certify to the adoption of this Resolution.
