processed and noticed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act
(Public Resources Code Section 21000 et seq.) and 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 Planning
Commission finds, on the basis of substantial evidence in the light of the whole record,
that:
(a) The amended project does not propose substantial changes to the project
which would require major revisions to the FOR 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, Addendum No. 2 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 and related actions have
been evaluated and, except for 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 Planning Commission finds
that the Addendum reflects the independent judgment of the Planning Agency and
hereby recommends approval of the Addendum by the City Council.
Section 2. The Planning Commission hereby recommends to the City Council
the approval of 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
requirements for Housing Elements.
