The Planning Commission has reviewed and analyzed the IS and other information in the entire record and has considered the information contained therein, including the written and oral comments received at the public hearing on the Project, prior to acting upon or approving the Project. 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 previously identified 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.

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.
