NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The City Council, based upon a thorough review of the proposed Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04, the CEQA documents, and the evidence received to date, does determine as follows: 1. In accordance with Section 15162 of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, the proposed amendments to previously approved projects do not present substantial changes or reveal new information that would require Subsequent or Supplemental EIR analysis. However, some changes or additions to the information contained in the certified EIR is necessary in order to approve the proposed project. For this reason, pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the Traffic Impact Analysis and a Freeway Merge /Diverge Analysis, constitute Addendum # 1 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04. 2. That Addendum #1 was prepared in compliance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act and the State CEQA Guidelines. 3. That, based upon the evidence submitted and as demonstrated by the analysis included in the Addendum #1, none of the conditions described in Sections 15162 or 15163 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Mitigated Negative Declaration have occurred; specifically: City Council Resolution No. 2015 -029 Page 3 of 4 a. There have not been any substantial changes to the development of the subject property as analyzed by Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 that require major revisions of the CEQA documents because of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; b. There have not been any substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Proposed Project is undertaken that require major revisions of the CEQA documents due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and c. There is no new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 was adopted, that shows any of the following: (a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04; (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04; (c) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative. SECTION 2. The City Council has evaluated all comments, written and oral, received from persons who have reviewed Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04. The City Council hereby finds and determines that all public comments have been addressed. SECTION 3. The City Council hereby finds that Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 for the Project is adequate and has been completed in accordance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines, and the City's procedures for implementation of CEQA; and recommends to the City Council that it make the same finding. The City Council has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 and Addendum #1 and finds that the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003 -04 and Addendum #1 represents the independent judgment of the City. SECTION 4. Based upon the evidence presented and the above findings, the City Council hereby adopts Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003- 04 for Industrial Design Review No. 2014 -02 City Council Resolution No. 2015 -029 Page 4 of 4 SECTION 5.
