Section 1: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) was previously adopted by the
City Council on June 19, 2002 for the Alta 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.
