FEIR prepared for Zoning Code Amendment 16-01 and Zone Change 16-01 satisfies the

revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects;
b. No substantial changes occur with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is undertaken which will require major revisions of the previous EIR due
to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
C. 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
previous EIR was certified that would show that any of the following exists:
(i) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the
previous EIR;
(ii) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe
than shown in the previous EIR;
(iii) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible
would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more
significant effects of the project, but the project proponents decline to
adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or
(iv) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from
those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or
more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponents
decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative.
