Guidelines Section 15162 - Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations
Reasons for Exemption
The proposed sign program document is exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations). The purpose of the sign program is to establish sign criteria for various types of signage throughout the Cotino development. On December 5, 2019, the Rancho Mirage City Council certified the Section 31 Specific Plan Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse Number 2018081074). The proposed sign program is consistent with the adopted Section 31 Specific Plan and no potential new impacts related to the proposed project has been identified that would necessitate further environmental review beyond the impacts and issued disclosed and evaluated under the certified Environmental Impact Report (EIR). CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 (Subsequent EIRs and Negative Declarations) provides that when an EIR has been certified or a negative declaration adopted for a project, no subsequent EIR shall be prepared for that project unless the lead agency determines, on the basis of substantial evidence in light of the whole record, that there are no new significant environmental effects due to a change in the project or circumstances, and there is no new information of substantial importance as identified in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)(3). The proposed project is a request to establish sign criteria for various types of signage throughout the Cotino development. The sign program may result in the construction of minor structures that are accessory to the clubhouse, lagoon promenade, and public beach areas. The signs are small and minor in nature. All proposed signage is designed to be in scale with the development plans which are for directional, informational, and identification purposes. The sign program is in substantial conformance with the Section 31 Specific Plan and certified EIR. Based on the City’s analysis, no subsequent EIR, supplemental EIR, or subsequent mitigation negative declaration is required. No further environmental review is required.
