Title

Placentia Westgate Metrolink Station

Description

As originally envisioned, the Placentia Orange Growers Association warehouse located at 207-209 and 211 West Crowther Avenue was to be demolished by the City to allow a parking structure to be constructed in support of the Westgate Metrolink Station (the "Project"). The demolition of this structure was fully evaluated and the Final EIR concluded that the removal of this structure constituted a significant unavoidable adverse impact to a historical resource and recommended mitigation measures by instituted, which are documented in the Final EIR. Since 2010 when the Final EIR was certified, the City has not proceeded with the development of the Project, but the City has determined that the warehouse must be demolished due to its blighted and unsafe structural condition. Further, the City concludes that the action to demolish the blighted warehouse constitutes a "minor technical change" from the original Project that fully evaluated the demolition of this structure. Based on the following analysis, implementing this action will not result in any potential for new or more significant environmental impacts in accordance with 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines. This Addendum, combined with the 2010 Final EIR, serves as the basis for this second-tier environmental review of the City's original decision to implement demolition of the warehouse as part of the Project. As such, this Addendum modifies the referenced EIR certified by the City in 2010 as its California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") environmental determination for the proposed implementation of the Project. No other changes in the original Project would occur at this time.
