documents, and the evidence received to date, does determine as follows:
'1. ln 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 lmpact
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:
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 signiricant 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 signiticant 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 Planning Commission has evaluated all comments, written and
oral, received from persons who have reviewed Addendum #1 to Mitigated Negative
Declaration No. 2003-04. The Planning Commission hereby finds and determines that
all public comments have been addressed.

make the same finding. The Planning Commission has reviewed and considered the
information contained in the Mitigated Negative Declaration No. 2003-04 and
