THE PLANNING COMMISSION HEREBY FINDS AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines,
a Negative Declaration (ND) was previously adopted by the City Council
on September 15, 2004 for the Enclave 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
changes will not affect the intent of the PDD.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that, based upon the foregoing, the Planning
Commission hereby approves Case No. 5.1014 PDD 301—AMND, to allow three new
plan types for the remaining nineteen vacant lots subject to all the previously approved
Conditions of Approval.
ADOPTED this 14" day of August 2013.
