The proposal is to revise the floor plans and architecture for 25 single-family residences within a previously approved 76-lot subdivision (related files:Tentative Tract Map SUBTT18122 and Development Review DRC2013-00743),that was previously approved by the Planning Commission on November 9, 2011 and April 23, 2014, for a total of 76 single-family residences.

There have been no substantial changes to the project or the circumstances surrounding the project which would create new or more severe impacts than those evaluated in the previous Negative Declaration. Staff further finds that the project will not have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous 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. 5.
