d. The amendment is consistent with key land use objectives identified in
the General Plan including, i) encourage opportunities to mix different, but
compatible land uses and activities, ii) promote land use patterns that
encourage non-motorized modes of transportation; and iii) organize land
uses to promote the maximal opportunity for transit usage; and
e. The inclusion of multi-family residential as a permitted use in Mixed
Use Planning Area IX will provide an integrated environment that will
respond to evolving market conditions and will help to create a "City that
functions efficiently, is exciting to live in, and makes the best use of its
various resources" pursuant to the objectives of the General Plan.
3. Based upon the substantial evidence presented to this Council during the
above-referenced pubic hearing and upon the specific findings of facts set
forth in paragraphs 1 and 2 above, this Council hereby finds and concludes
as follows:
a. That the proposed amendment would not have significant impacts on
the environment nor the surrounding properties; and
b. That the proposed amendment is in conformance with the General
Plan.
4. An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was prepared and certified as a
Master EIR for the Empire Lakes Subarea 18 Industrial Area Specific Plan.
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 21157.1 provides
that the preparation and certification of a Master EIR allows for the limited
review of subsequent projects that were described in the Master EIR as being
within the scope of the reporting accordance with certain requirements.
However, because of the changes that are submitted by this project, an
Addendum was prepared for said project. An Addendum to the Subarea 18
Specific Plan final EIR is appropriate documentation because some changes
or additions are necessary to describe the proposed residential project but
none of the conditions described in the CEQA Guidelines Section 15162
calling for the preparation of a subsequent EIR have occurred. The Planning
Commission has reviewed and considered the attached Addendure based on
the following findings:
a. There have not been substantial changes in the project that require
major revisions to the previous EIR because of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in severity of
previously identified significant effects.
b. There have not been substantial changes with respect to the
circumstances under which the project is undertaken, which will
require major revisions to the previous EIR due to the involvement of
new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the
severity of previously identified significant effects.
c. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not
known and could not have been known with the exercise of
Ordinance No. 638

reasonable diligence at the time the EIR was certified as complete,
that shows any of the following: 1) the project will have one or more
significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR, 2) significant
effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than
shown in the previous EIR, 3) mitigation measures or alternatives
previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and
would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the
project but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation
measure or alternative, or 4) mitigation measures or alternatives,
which are considerably different from those analyzed in the final EIR
would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the
environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the
mitigation measure or alternative.
5. Based upon the findings and conclusions set forth in paragraphs 1, 2, 3, and
4 above, this Commission hereby approves the application to each and every
condition set forth below:
