The analysis found the overall use and intent of the proposed project would be consistent with the vision and intent of the General Plan, which was evaluated in the General Plan EIR. The proposed residential development would be consistent with the City's General Plan and zoning. No amendments to the General Plan or zoning designations would be required.
Exempt Status
Other
Type, Section or Code
15163
Reasons for Exemption
The General Plan EIR was ce11ified in 2011. Updated planning documents, including ordinances, that were adopted by the City after General Plan EIR certification do not provide substantial new information that was not known at the time the EIR was certified. Additionally, the proposed project would comply with all updated regulations, such as building codes, zoning amendments, and any other updates to the zoning code, as required by the City. Since no substantial new information not known at the time of the General Plan EIR is available, no updated analyses or other studies are required for the proposed project.
