Council on April 21, 2004 for the Luminaire Development. Pursuant to
Section 15162 of the California Environmental Act (CEQA), the preparation
of additional environmental documentation is not necessary because the
proposed amendment will not change the circumstances related to the
project. Furthermore, the amendment will not result in any new significant
environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously
identified significant effects. Therefore, the proposed amendment could not
result in any new environmental impacts beyond those already assessed in
the previously adopted mitigated negative declaration.
Section 2: The use and density of the subject property remains the same and are not
affected by the proposed changes. The architecture will be similar to that
which was originally approved and no changes to the landscaping are
proposed as part of this amendment. Therefore, the minor architectural and
site changes do not affect the intent of the PD.
NOW, THEREFORE,
Commission hereby
Conditions set forth
