The Planning Commission hereby finds that the Addendum to the General Plan FEIR prepared. for Zoning Code Amendment 17-03 and Zone Change 17-01 satisfies the requirements of CEQA because: a. No substantial changes are proposed in the project 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; 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 shows that: (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. 2. The Planning Commission finds as follows with respect to Zoning Code Amendment 17- 03 and Zone Change 17-01: a. The proposed Zoning Code amendment and zone change will not be detrimental to the health, safety, morals, comfort or general welfare of the persons residing or working within the neighborhood of the proposed amendment or injurious to property or improvements in the neighborhood or within the City because they promote land uses that are compatible with both the existing topography and land RESOLUTION 2017-39 1 PAGE OF 2 NOVEMBER 16,2017 ent 17-03 and Zone Change 17- 01 at the Grand Terrace Council Chambers located at 22795 Barton Road, Grand Terrace, • California 92313 and concluded the hearing on said date; and WHEREAS,all legal prerequisites to the adoption of this Resolution have occurred.
