considered.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of San Jacinto does hereby
resolve as follows:
Section 1. ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION (CEQA): Addendum No. 2
to Final Environmental Impact Report No. 2001111165 (Exhibit A) has been prepared,
processed and noticed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.), the CEQA Guidelines (14 California
Code of Regulations Section 15000 et seq.) for General Plan Amendment 1-13 in
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City Policy.
Pursuant to Sections 15162, 15164, and 15183 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City
Council finds, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record, that:
(a) The proposed Housing Element amendment does not propose substantial
changes to the project which would require major revisions to the FEIR due to new or
substantially more severe significant environmental effects than previously analyzed in
the FEIR; and
(b) There have been no substantial changes in circumstances under which the
project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the FEIR due to new or
substantially more severe significant environmental effects than previously analyzed in
the FEIR; and
(c) No new information of substantial importance as described in subsection
(a)(3) of Section 15164 has been revealed that would require major revisions to the
FEIR or its conclusions.
Additionally, all appropriate project design features and mitigation measures will
be incorporated in future development projects, as required by applicable development
regulations and mitigation measures. In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section
15164, the Addendum to the previously certified FEIR is the appropriate environmental
documentation for the proposed project. Potential environmental impacts resulting from
the adoption of General Plan Amendment 1-13 have been evaluated and, except for
24438.00000\'754 .a.67.3
those previously determined to be significant and unavoidable in the FEIR, the impacts
would be less than significant.
On the basis of all of the evidence in the record, the City Council finds that the
Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Agency and hereby
approves the Addendum.
Section 2. The City Council hereby approves General Plan Amendment No. 1-
13, an Amendment to the General Plan to Adopt the 2013-2021 Housing Element
Update to the City of San Jacinto General Plan (Exhibit B) based upon the following
findings:
A. The Housing Element Update establishes goals, policies and
objectives/programs that address the provision of adequate, safe, and
decent housing for all economic segments of the community.
B. The Housing Element Update is consistent with all provisions of Section
65580 et seq. of the California Government Code, which sets forth state
