c. Based on substantial evidence in the record, the proposed Project is within the scope of the previously approved Downtown Precise Plan and is adequately described in the previously certified Downtown Precise Plan Program EIR for purposes of CEQA. The mitigation measures and Statement of Overriding Considerations associated with certification of the Program EIR addresses the environmental effects of the Project. Accordingly, with the approval of this Project, all applicable mitigation measures and the Statement of Overriding Considerations are hereby reconfirmed and readopted. d. As set forth in CEQA Guidelines sections 15162, 15163, and 15168, the proposed Project will not result in any new environmental effects, or a substantial increase in the severity of any environmental impact, or require new mitigation measures beyond those identified in the Downtown Precise Plan Program EIR and adopted upon approval of the Downtown Precise Plan. No new environmental document is required. e. As set forth in CEQA Guidelines section 15183, subdivisions (a) and (b), the proposed Project is consistent with the Downtown Precise Plan (for which the EIR was certified on January 24, 2011) which provides the necessary zoning to accommodate the proposed development density. Further, as discussed in the IS Checklist, there are no environmental effects which are peculiar to the project or its site, nor are there any new significant effects that were not already identified and analyzed in the certified EIR, nor are there any potentially significant off-site impacts or cumulative impacts that were not already identified and analyzed in the certified EIR, nor is there any new information which was not known at the time of the certification of the EIR that identifies any significant effects which will have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the certified EIR. Further, as set forth in subdivision (d) of CEQA Guidelines section 15183, the proposed Project is consistent with the DTPP, and an EIR was prepared for the DTPP. f.
