The 19.43-acre project site is generally located on vacant land north of Corydon Road, east of Grand Avenue, west of Mission Trail, and south of Stoneham Street and is more specifically referred to as Assessor's Parcel Numbers (APNs) 365- 030-004 through -007, -016 through -023, and -027 through -037; and, Whereas, the Project is subject to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (Public Resources Code SS 21000, et seq.: "CEQA") and the State lmplementation Guidelines for CEQA ('14 California Code of Regulations Sections 15000, et seq.: "CEQA Guidelines") because the Project involves an activity which may cause either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment, and involves the issuance of a lease, permit license, certificate, or other entitlement for use by one or more public agencies (Public Resources Code Section 21065); and, Whereas, the City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) (State Clearinghouse No. 20080'11082) to address the potential environmental impacts of the Colony project pursuant to CEQA, the CEQA Guidelines and the City's Procedures for lmplementing the CEQA Guidelines and its other procedures relating to environmental evaluation of public and private projects; and, Whereas, June 25, 2008, the City Council (Council) of the City of Lake Elsinore (City) approved the Colony Project lnitial Study/MND (SCH #200801 1082) and its Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP); and, Whereas, the potential environmental impacts of the Colony project were evaluated in the approved MND; and, Whereas, an lnitial Study/Addendum to the Colony MND (SCH 2008011082) was prepared to provide an evaluation of potential site-specific environmental effects that could result from the proposed Project, compared those effects to what was disclosed by the MND and concluded that the significant effects that would result from the Project have been addressed in the earlier approved MND; and, Whereas, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164, the lnitial Study/Addendum provides some changes and additions to the approved MND and therefore constitutes Addendum 1 to the Colony MND; and, Whereas, pursuant to LEMC Chapters 16.24 (Tentative Maps) and 17.184 (Design Review) the Planning Commission (Commission) has been delegated with the responsibility of making PC Reso. No. 2017-83 Page 2 Of 3 recommendations to the Council pertaining to Tentative Maps and Design Review of residential projects; and, Whereas, on October 17 ,2017 , at a duly noticed Public Hearing the Commission has considered evidence presented by the Community Development Department and other interested parties with respect to this item. NOW, THEREFORE, THE PLANNINNG COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE DOES HEREBY RESOLVE, DETERMINE AND ORDER AS FOLLOWS: Section l: The Commission, based upon a thorough review of the proposed Addendum 1 to the Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082), the CEQA documents, and the evidence received to date, does determine as follows: 1 . ln accordance with Section 1 5162 of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Project does not present substantial changes or reveal new information that would require subsequent or supplemental MND analysis. However, some changes or additions to the information contained in the certified MND is necessary in order to approve the proposed project. For this reason, pursuant to Section '15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, an lnitial Study/Addendum to the Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082) was prepared to provide an evaluation of potential site-specific environmental effects that could result from the proposed Project, compared those effects to what was disclosed by the MND and concluded that the significant effects that would result from the Project have been addressed in the earlier approved MND. The lnitial Study/Addendum constitutes Addendum 1 to the Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082). 2. That Addendum 1 was prepared in compliance with the requirements of CEQA and the 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 ot 15163 of the CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent or supplemental Environmental lmpact Report have occurred; specifically: a. 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; or b. 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 the Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082) was adopted, that shows any of the following: (a) the project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082); (b) significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in Colony MND (SCH 200801 1082); (c) mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the Colony MND (SCH 2008011082) would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the pOect proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
