All applicable City Departments and Agencies have been afforded the
opportunity for a thorough review of the Amendment No 1 to the Village at
Lakeshore Specific Plan and all applicable comments and/or conditions
related to installation and maintenance of landscaping, street dedications,
regulations of points of vehicular ingress and egress and control of potential
nuisances have been implemenfed, so as to eliminate any negative impacts
to the general health, safety, comfort, or general welfare of the surrounding
neighborhood or the City.
6. ln accordance with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEaA), impacts have been reduced to a less than significant level, or
in the case where impacts remain, a statement of oveniding considerations
must be adopted to justify the merits of project implementation.
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) No. 2006-05 (State Clearinghouse
No. 2006017027) was adopted by the City Council on September 12, 2006.
The MND adequately addressed the potential impacts of the proposed and
approved project. ln accordance with Section 1 5162 of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEaA) Guidelines, the proposed amendments
to previously approved projects do not present substantial changes or
reveal new information that would require Subsequent or Supplemental
CEQA analysis. However, some changes or additions to the information
contained in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration is necessary in
order to approve the proposed project. For this reason an Addendum to the
Mitigated Negative Declaration has been prepared. The combined
mitigation measures included in Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) No.
2006-05 (State Clearinghouse No. 2006017027) and the Addendum
adequately reduce any potential significant impacts to levels of less than
significant impacfs, fhus no additional environmental analysis is warranted.
