Criteria for Subsequent EIR [Section 15162]
Reasons for Exemption
CEQA requires analysis of agency approvals of discretionary “Projects.” A “project,” under CEQA, is defined as “the whole of an action, which has a potential for resulting in either a direct physical change in the environment, or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment” (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378). The proposed Project is a project under CEQA.
The City has received the Project and analyzed it based upon provisions of the State CEQA Guidelines. The proposed Project consists of a request to amend an approved Master Home Plan Design Review for 262 new homes as part of the Arbor Ranch Project Phase 1 that would add 2 additional floor plans with 3 elevations each. On June 16, 2004, the City Council certified and Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and adopted a Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP) for the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan (EG-00-062) (SCH No. 2000082139). No further environmental review was required for the subsequent Arbor Ranch subdivision project (810 lots) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15182 (Residential Projects pursuant to a Specific Plan) as the subdivision was found to be consistent with the certified EIR and the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan. The proposed Project would add two additional floor plan options for Phase 1 of the subdivision encompassing a total of 262 lots. The approved subdivision layout and total number of lots would remain unchanged. The Project will not generate any new environmental impacts beyond those addressed in the Laguna Ridge Specific Plan EIR. Staff has determined that the certified EIR and adopted MMRP is sufficient and no further environmental review is required pursuant to State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162, which identifies the requirements for which subsequent analysis is required. In addition, there are no new or unusual circumstances that would warrant further environmental review. Therefore, the Design Review for a Master Home Plan will not, with foreseeable certainty, have any significant adverse impact on the environment
