Section 2. Initial Study Checklist ("IS"): In the exercise of its independent judgment, the Planning Commission finds that: a. The IS was prepared in accordance with all legal requirements. b. 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 address 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 reaffirmed and readopted. d. As set forth in CEQA Guidelines sections 15162, 15163 and 15168, the proposed project will not result in any new or more significant environmental effects 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.
