Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, the proposed revision would not have a significant effect on the environment and no new environmental documentation is necessary because all potentially significant effects have been adequately analyzed in an earlier mitigated negative declaration. All potentially significant impacts have been avoided or mitigated pursuant to the earlier mitigated negative declaration and none of the conditions described in Section 1 5162 exist. MND No. 2015-01 (SCH # 2013091083) was adopted by the City Councit on Juty 14, 2OtS. VTTM 36557 was revised to relocate the public park within Phase 'l (Village 3), reduce the number of lots by two (2), and allow the tentative map to be developed in seven (7) phases. The phasing plan will not increase the intensity of the project, but will allow the previously approved poect to be developed in phases. ln addition, the park relocation is a minor reconfiguration of the project layout, which has resulted in the loss of two (2) lots. No substantial changes which require major revisions to the mitigated negative declaration exist and no new information of substantial importance which require revisions to the earlier mitigated negative declaration exist.
