("V"TTMs") 28214 and 30836, and contains the changes and additions to the A1beLhill Ranch Final EIR and EIR ilddendum No. 1, has been completed in compliance ~vith the California ~n~rixonmental Quality Acc, Public Resouices Code Sections 21000, et seq. ("CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines, Tide 14, California Code of Regulaaons, Sectioiis i 5006 et. seq. ("C~QA Guideluies"), and the Cit~~'s ~nvuonmental Clearancc Piocedures. Tl~e City fuxthex ceiafies that EIR Addendum No. 2 was pxesented to the City, and that the Ciry has reviewed and consideied die infoxmation contained in FIR Addendum No. 2. The City heceby finds that EIR Addendum No. 2 xeflects the independent judgment of the City and adopts EIR Addendum No. 2. 2. The City further cettifies that it has received, xeviewed, and considesed the infoxmation contained in the Albezlull Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, State Clearinghouse Numbex 88090517, which was cexrified by the City on August 28, 1989, as set forth in the Findings and Statement of Ove~xiding Considexations adopted by the City on this same date, in connecuon with its adoprion of the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. The City also cextifies that it has received, reviewed, and considexed the infoxmation contained in Addendum No. 1, certified in June 1992, in connection with its adoption of the Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan, an amendment to the original Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. 3. The A1beThill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, EIR Addendum No. 1, and EIR Addendum No. 2, contain the envixonmental analysis and infoimarion necessaiy to support appxoval of VTI`Ms 28214 and 30836 (also xefexxed to as "Pxoject"). FINDINGS 1. The following Findings aze hexeby adopted by the Ciry as iequ~ed by Public P~esouxces Code Secrions 21081, 21081.5, 21081.6, and 21166, and CEQA Guidelines Sections 15091, 15092, 15093, 15162, 15164, and 15168, in conjunction with the appxoval of V'I`I'Ms 28214 and 30836. Env~onmental Review Process 2. The oiiginal Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan was approved and the Final EIR was cextified by the City on August 28, 1989. The Albeihill Ranch Specific Plan covexs appxo~tnately 1,853 acxes genexally bounded by the I-15 Freeway on the north, Tersa Cotta Road/Nichols Road on the south, EI Toxxo Road on the east, and Robb Road/Lake Street on the ~vest. The Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan consisted of thxee ownexships: Muxdock AlUeTlull Ranch Luruted Paxtnership; Brighton Albexlull Associates; and Long Beach Equities, and proposed - 3,705 dwelling units, 254 acres of commercial use, 531 acres of open space, 30 acres of paxk, and 50 acxes of school park sites. 3. In 1992, b4uidock Albexhill Ranch I.,iinited Paxmexship xequested an amendment to its 511-acre portion ("Muxdock AlUexhill Ranch Specific Plan") of the pxeviously approved Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. The Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan pxoposed a numbes of minoz technical xevisions and modificarions to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan's land use plan, circulation plan, phasing plan, zoning standaxds, and design guidelines, and pxoposed 1,819 xesidential d~velling units, an elementaiy school, open space, recreational/paxk uses, and commexcial/indus[rial uses. The Muxdock Albexhill Rauch Specific Plan area is divided into tl~ee geneial plamvng acres. 4. At the tune the Murdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan was undextaken, the City, puxsuant to CEQA C 21166 and CEQA Guidelines gg 15162 and 15163, detexmined that a subsequent ox supplemental EIR was not xequixed because changes pxoposed to the Albexlvll Ranch Specific Plan did not have significant envixonmental effects diffexent from those analyzed as paxt of the original Alberhill Ranch Final EIR. As a result, the Ciry pxepared, and adopted in June 1992, EIR Addendum No. 1. EIR Addendutn No. 1 pxovided only minox technical xevisions and modifications to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and concluded that no new significant environmental effects wexe identified and no new mitigadon measures weTe prnposed ox necessaxy. 5. The pxoject applicant, Muxdock Development Company, on behalf of Muxdock Albeihill Ranch T united Partnexship is xequesting appxoval of VT`I`Ms 282141 (28 lots), 28214-2 (1281ots, 1 private patk), 28214-3 (2471ots), 28214-4 (1601ots; 1 pxivate paek), 28214-5 (121 lots and public paxk), 28214-6 (2021ots), 28214-7 (84 lots), 30836-1 (I161ots, 1 private park), and 30836-2 (921ots, school and 1 pask site) fox implementation of the Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. Specifically, development of the tracts•will include 32.4 acxes of residential development on V i"I'M 30836 and 391.4 acxes on VTTM 28214. The vesting tentative tract maps also include a 33.83-acxe community paxk, a 5.8-acxe park and 16.7-acxe school combinadon, along with othex common open space. 6. In accoxdance with CEQA Guidelines g 15378(a)(3), 28214 and 30836 axe an amendment to the adopted Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and Muxdock Albeshill Ranch Specific Plan, and consritute a"project" which is subject to CEQA and the CEQA guidelines. However, development of 2&214 and 30836 is consistent with the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and M~dock Albethill Ranch Specific Plan. In fact, less xesidential and commexcial development will occur as iesult of the appxoval of VTTMs 28214 and 30$36 than previously petmitted undex Murdock Albeihill Ranch Specific Plan. This will xesult in a xeducrion of envixonmental impacts. The City, acting in the capacity of lead Agency, (as defined by CEQA Guidelines 9 15367) has undextaken this envixonmental analysis (oE those proposed amendments to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan as a msult of appxoval of V1`I'Ms 28214 and 30836) foi the purpose of identifying those minor technical changes to the Afberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1, which may be tequixed to accuxately describe the env~onmental effects resulting from the adoption of VTTMs 28214 and 3083G. This Addendum to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR ("EIR Addendum No. 2"), pr.epaxed puxsuant to CEQA ~ 21166 and CEQA Guidelines gg 15162 and 15164, has been prepared to: 8. EIR Addendum No. 2, dated October 7, 2003, to the Alberlull Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR has been prepaxed fox VTTMs 28214 and 30836, in accoxdance with CEQA, the CFQA Guidelines, and the City's enviconmental cleaxance pxoced~es. The purpose of the EIR Addendum No. 2 is twofold (1) to evaluate whether a minox technical corrections and revisions associated with VTTMs 28214 and 3083G result in any significant env~onmental effects that wexe not previously examined in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1; and (2) to serve as an addendum to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final ~IR that makes minox technical changes and additions to the AlUexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and Murdoclc Albexhill R1nch Specific Plan in or.der to analyze the pxoject-specific env~onmental effects and to account for a change in circumstances since certification of the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and approval of ~IR Amendment No. 1 that would not requixe majox xevisions to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR. 9. The CEQA Guidelines (C15164(a) and ~15162) allow the City, as lead agency, to prepaxe an Addendum to a pxevious cexrified EIR if all of the following conditions axe met: a. Changes to the pxoject do not xequixe major xevisions to the pxeviously pxepaxed EIR due to the involvement of new significant env~onmental effects or a substantial incxease in the sevexity of pxeviously identified significant effects; b. Changes with sespect to the cixcuxnstances under which the pxoject is undertaken do not tequite majox xevisions to the ptevious EIR due to the involvement of new significant envixontnental effects ox a substantial incxease in the severity of preniously identified significant effects; c No new infoxmauon becomes available ~vhich shows new significant effects, significant effects substantially moxe severe than previously discussed, ox additional or modified mitigation measuxes; d. Only muiox technical changes ot additions axe necessary to make the EIR under considexation adequate undei CEQA; and, e. The changes to the EIR made by the Addendutn do not xaise unportant new issues about the significant effects on the env~onment. 10. EIR Addendum No. 2 concludes that the potential envixonmental unpacts associated widi the development of VTTMs 28214 and 30836 conclusively shows that development of VTTivis 28214 and 30536 will not uigger any of the pxovision of CEQA Guidelines ~ 15162, and therefore a subsequent ox supplemental EIR is not Lequixed. This is boxne out by the fact that appsoval of VTTMs 28214 and 30836 (1) ~vill not requ~e important xevisions to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final ~IR and EIR Addendum No. 1 in that no new significant environmental impacts (not pxeviously considexed as paxt of the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final ~IR and EIR Addendum No. 1) have been identified, (2) uo substantial changes ~vith xespect to the cixcumstances undex which the pxoject is undertaken have occurred, and (3) no new informadon or issues of substandal itnpoxtance (which wexe not pmviously addxessed in the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1) have been identified dzxough this subsequent environmental xevie~v. The Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, ~IR Addendum No. 1, together with EIR Addendum No. 2, its technical appendices and the technical changes identified in Addendum No. 2, adequately analyze the pxoposed changes to the AlUexlull Ranch Specific Plan and Muidock Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan axeas, and pxovide an env~onmental basis far the City's discrerionary action of appxoving the VTTMs 28214 and 30836. Additionally, the VTTMS are consistent with the appxoved Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan and Murdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan so as to produce no additional envixonmental impacts. Pxoject-Specific Impacts 11. F.IR Addendum No. 2 xeviews all 14 potentially significant envuonmental unpact axeas analyzed in the Albeilull Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1. The Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR analyzed the following 14 envixonmental topics as envixonmental axeas rhat could be advexsely affected by the unplementarion of the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. These envuonmental topics include: Geology/Soils; Hydxology/Watex Qualiry; Noise; A~ Quality; Wildlife/Vegetation (i.e., Biological Resouices); Land Use; Population Housing; Populauon and Housing; Enexgy Resources; Aesthetics; Histoxic and 1'xehistoric Resources; Cuculation; Public Facilities and Seroices; and .Fiscal. 12. The Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR concluded that only Air Quality and Biological Resouxces would tesult in significant unavoidable adverse impacts associated with the unplementation of the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, all othex impact axeas wexe eithex potentially significant but mitigable impacts ox insignificant. 13. EIR Addendum No. 1 analyzed these same impact axeas in the context of the pxoposed modifications associated with the unplementation of the Murdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. In the context of the Mulriple-Family Dwelling Unit Option, EIR Addendum No. 1 concluded that the pxoject contemplated in 1989 (i.e., the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan, to the pxoject pxoposed in 1992 (i.e., ~4urdock Albeihill Ranch Specific Plan) would not cause any significant changes ox new "impacts" that wexe not pxeviously contemplated and addxessed in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan EIR Addendum and covexed by adopted mitigation measuxes. 14. As noted above, EIR Addendum No. 2 xeviews the 14 env~onmental impact aYeas addressed in EIR Addendum No. 1 and specifically focuses, through subsequent technical analyses, on the five env~onrnental nnpact areas with the most potential fox changed cucumstances since last analyzed in 1992 (i.e., biological xesources, tsaffic and cucularion, noise, geology, and hy~ology). EIR Addendum No. 2 presents an analysis of potential impacts upon those environmental issues identified in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1, cesulting fsom those changes to the envixonment that could occuc thxough unpleinentation of the VTTMs 28214 and 30836. Each of those envixonmental issues which wexe addressed in the EIR Addenduzn No. 1 have been re- exainined based upon proposed changes to the Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan to detexmine whethet those changes will result in additional itnpacts upon the envlronmentbeyond those levels pxeviously identified in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and F.TR Addendum No. 1. 15. Afte~~ ieviewing the 14 potentially significant environmental unpact axeas, as noted above F,IR Addendum No. 2 concludes that because xesidential development is xeduced by the development of VZ"i'Ms 25214 and 30836, the pioject ~vill not directly or ind~ecdy incxease any unpacts that wexe previously analyzed. In paxticulax, fox those unpact azeas with the most potential foz change s;nce they wcre last analyzed in 1992, EIR Addendum No. 2 concludes thxough subsequent technical xeview that Uiological xesoucces tsaffic, noise, hydrological, and geological impacts will not dixectly or indixecdy incxease any impacts that wexe previously analyzed. 16. In the context of potential cumulative unpacts, the existing setring outside the Pxoject boundary axea has not been altexed in any way to significandy nnpact the envuonmental impacts pxeviously analyzed in the AlUeshill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and ~IR Addendum No. 1 including, but not limited to biological resoiuces, txaffic, noise, hydxology, ox geology in the VTPMs 28214 and 30836' unmediate suxrounding area. Purthexmore, the technical analyses, which axe attached to EIR Addenduin No. 2, suppoxt the conclusion that biological, traffic, noise, hy~ological, and geological impacts aie substantially consistent with the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1 and will not significandy nnpact the VTl Ms 28214 and 30836 axeas. 17. The analysis in EIR r~ddendum No. 2 indicates that the Pxoject, with the unplementation of the xelevant Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1 mitigarion measures, could potentially incsementally conuibute to some impacts pxeviously identified in the Albethill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and Addendum No. 1, but will not xesult in any new significant ixnpacts, substantially incxease the severity of significant impacts pxeviously identified in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, ox cause any envitonmental effects not previously exanuned in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR ox Addendum No. 1. All significant nnpacts to which the Pxoject would contcibute have been ad~essed in EIR Addendutn No. 2, the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, in the Findings and Statement of Overriding Considexations adopted by the City in connection with its appxoval of the Albeshill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, and Addendum No. 2. No additional mirigation measuxes axe feasible to substanrially lessen any significant and unavoidable impacts pxeviously identified in the Albexlvll Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1. ADDITIONAL FINDINGS Adequacy of Pciox Envixonmental Review 18. All of the significant env~onmental effects of the Pxoject have been adequztely addLessed in the pziox enviTOnmental unpact sepoxt in that those impacts: (1) have been mitigated ox avoided as a xesult of the priox environmental impact report and fmdings adopted in connection with the prior envizonmental ixnpact xepoxt; (2) have been examuied at a sufficient level of detail in the priar envixorunentai unpact repoxt to enable those effects to be mitigated ox avoided b~~ site-specific zevisions, the unposition of conditions, ox by other means in connection with the approval of the Project; ox (3) cannot be mirigated to avoid ox substandally lessen the significant impacts despite the Pxoject pxoponenPs willingness to accept all feasible mitigarion measuxes, and the only puipose of including analysis of such effects in anothex env~or ::enral itnpact report weuld be to putthe agency in a posidon to adopt a statement of overriding consideiations with respect to the effects. The Pxoject is consistent with the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, and the iegional and axea wide cumulative unpacts of the Pxoject have akeady Ueea adequately~ addcessed in the ceitified Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, EIR Addendum No. 1, and in EIR Addendum No. 2, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Secrion 15130. These Pindings siuninarize, rely upon, aud incorpoxate the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and ~IR Addenduxn No. 1 Findings to address those cumularive unpacts. As indicated in EIR Addendum No. 2, the Pxoject does not provide an oppoTtunity to eluninate ox substantially xeduce any of the significant and unavoidable adnexse unpacts identified in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plau Final ~IR and EIR Addendum No. 1. Furthex, the appxoval of the Project does not create a new oppoxtunit~~ to eliminate ox substanrially xeduce any of the significant and unavoidable adverse unpacts found in the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIlt ox Addendum No. 1. 19. The AlUexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR sufhciendy analyzed a xange of reasonable alcernadve locations to the Pxoject and the c~cumstances xemain substandally the same as they relate to those altexnarives. CEQA Uuidelines g 15126.6(~(2)(C). No new significant envixonmental nnpacts have been identified in connecdon with the Project that wexe not considexed in the A1beThill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and ~IR Addendum No. 1. As a xesult, no new effects axe anticipated ro occux and no ne~v mitigation measuxes will be xequ~ed othex than as addressed in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1. The potential effects of the Pxoject (including its conteibudon to significant/mirigated and significant/unavoidable impacts) have been fully addxessed by the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Pinal EIR, the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Findings, EIR Addendum No. 1, and EIR Addenduxn No. 2. In accoxdance with Section 15168(c) of the CEQA Guidelines, the City hereby finds that none of the cixcumstances desciibed in Section 15162(a) of the CEQA Guidelines axe pxesent and no subsequent EIR is xequired foz the Project. Criteria fox an Addendum 20. EIR Addendum No. 2 concludes that none of the conditions or citcumstances that ~voi:ld xequixe prepazation of a subsequent ox supplemental EIR pursuant to Public Resouzces Code Section 2ll66 and CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 e~sts in connection wi~h the Pxoject. No substanrial changes have been pxoposed to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan pxojecu as descxibed in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1 ~vlvch would xeqirire majox xevisions to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR ox EIR Addendum No. 1. The Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan pioject described in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and Muxdock Albexhill Ranch Specific 1'lan includes VTTMs 28214 and 30836. 21. EIR Addendum No. 2 indicates that thexe have not Ueen any substanrial changes ~vith xespect to the cucumstances undex which development of the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan site, including the Project, ~could be undextaken that would require major xevisions to the AlUerhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR or EIR Addendum No. 1. EIR Addendum No. 2 concludes that thexe is no new information of substanrial unportance, which was not kno~vn and could not have been knocvn at the tune that the Albeihill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR was certified as complete, and ~IR Addendum No. 1 appxoved, showing that the pxoposed Pxoject would cause ox substanually woisen environmental impacts discussed in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR ox EIR Addendum No. 1, or that diffexent mitigation measuxes or altexnatives from those analyzed in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR ox EIR Addendum No. 1~vould substantially xeduce one ox moie significant envizonmentai unpacts found in the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR or EIR Addendum No. 1. 22. Fox the xeasons described above, The City hexeby finds that preparadon of the EIR Addendum No. 2 to the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1, making minor technical changes and addiuons to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1 in order to analyze the pxoject-specific envixonmental effects of the Pxoject aftex cextification of the Albeihill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and appzoval of EIR Addendum No. 1, is appxopriate undex C~QA. Incorpoxation B~~ RefeTence 23. These Findings incoxporate by xefexence in their enticety the text of the EIR Addendum No. 2 pxepared fox the Pxoject, EIR Addendum No. 1, the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR, and the Findings and Statement of Overriding Consideiauons adopted by the Ciry on August 28, 1989, in connection with its approval of the Alberhill Ranch Specific Plan pxoject. Without limitation, this incoipoxadon is intended to elaboxate on the scope and natuxe of the Project, potenrial envixonmental 'unpacts that could xesult fxom the Pxoject, xelated mitigarion measares, and the basis fox deter+*++ning the significance of the Project's ixnpacts. Miti~ation MonitorinQ 24. CEQA xequires the L,ead Agency approving a pxoject to adopt a monitoring pxogxam fox changes to the ptoject that it adopts ox makes a condirion of pxoject appzoval, including tnitigation measuces intended to eliininaee ox xeduce potentially significant impacts of the pxoject, in order to ensure compliance during pxoject unplementation. To the extent this Ptoject incoxpoxates xelevant Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1 xnirigauon measares previously adopted by die City, implementation of these mitigation measuxes in connection with this Pxoject will be monitoxed puxsuant to the e~cisting Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR A ddendum No. 1 monitoring progxam pxeviously adopted by the Cit~~ in connection with its appxoval of the Albexlvll Ranch Specific Plan and Muxdock A1beLlull Ranch Specific Plan, and amendment to the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan. Recoxd of Pxoceedines 25. Vacious documents and other mateiials consritute the record of pxoceedings upon which The City bases its findings and decision contained hexein. The xecord of pxoceedings can be obtained at City Hall (130 South Main Steeet, Lake Elsinoxe, Califoxiua 92330). BASED ON TH~ FOREGOING FINDINGS and the information contained in the xecoxd, the City has previously made one or more of the following Findings with xespect to each of the significant effects of the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR: a. Changes ox alterations have been xequixed in, ox incorpoxated into, the Pxoject, which mirigate oi avoid the si~nuficant envuonmental effects on the envixonment. b. Those changes ox altexarions are within the xesponsibility and jwisdicrion of anothex public agency and have Ueen, ot can and should be, adopted by that other public agency. c Specific economic, legal, social, technological, oT othex considexations, including considexadons fox the provision of employment opportunities fos highly uained workexs, make infeasible the tnirigarion measures ox alternadves idendfied in the envixonmental unpact repost. BAS~D ON THE POREGOING FINDINGS and the infoxmadon contained in the record, it is detennined that: a. The Pxoject could potentially incrementally contribute to, but will not incxease the severity of, significant environmental impacts pxeviously identified in the Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan Final ~IR and ~IR Addendum No. 1. b. All Albexhill Ranch Specific Plan and EIR Addendum No. mitigation measuxes xelevant to the Pxoject, as identified in EIR Addendum No. 2, as well as all PTOject components described in EIR Addendum No. 2, axe ma3e a condition of Pxojectappxoval. c. The Pxoject will not xesult in envixonmeatal effects that wexe not adequately examined in the Albexlull Ranch Specific Plan Final EIR and EIR Addendum No. 1. d.
