Document Description
This Addendum to the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) certified in 2017 for the City of Palo Alto 2030 Comprehensive Plan analyzes the impacts associated with the proposed 2023-2031 Housing Element Update (“proposed project.”) The proposed project consists of a complete update to the Comprehensive Plan Housing Element. The updates are intended to enable Palo Alto to accommodate housing in accordance with State law while continuing to provide services, parks, schools, and environmental setting, and offering new programs that support the city’s diversity and housing affordability. The proposed HEU would bring the element into compliance with State legislation passed since adoption of the 2015-2023 Housing Element and with the current Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA). In accordance with CEQA, the EIR Addendum demonstrates, based on substantial evidence, that the prior environmental analysis in the 2017 EIR adequately addresses the potential environmental effects of the project, and the project does not require subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15164, and supports the City's finding that the project would not result in significant new issues nor exceed the level of impacts identified in the previously certified 2017 EIR requiring additional analysis under CEQA.
