Page 19 of 27 The DTPP EIR explained that the analysis of some potential impacts stemming from the DTPP were speculative at that time, and therefore that the City would subsequently consider whether a particular development project might cause a significant impact that would require further environmental review. i. The City Followed CEQA with Respect to Determining Whether an EIR Is Required for the Project, including Pursuant to (1) CEQA Guidelines Section 15168, (2) CEQA Guidelines Sections 15162 and 15163, (3) CEQA Guidelines Section 15183, (4) CEQA Guidelines Section 15183.3, and (5) Public Resources Code Sections 21159.21 and 21159.23. After a city approves an EIR for a comprehensive land use plan like the DTPP, the city shall consider whether further environmental review is required with respect to subsequent discretionary decisions on particular projects that implement the underlying plan. Whether a supplemental EIR or other environmental document must be prepared depends upon the analysis of the subsequent activity in light of the existing EIR. The City performed this analysis, which ultimately shows that further environmental review is not required. Several sets of interrelated provisions of the CEQA Guidelines demonstrate why the Project does not require further environmental review. First, CEQA Guidelines section 15168(c) provides that if the City has already prepared an EIR for a comprehensive land use plan such as the DTPP, unless the subsequent activities would create new significant impacts or require new mitigation measures, as analyzed under CEQA Guidelines section 15162, the City may find that the Project is within the scope of the EIR. Second, CEQA Guidelines sections 15162 and 15163 provide that the City shall not prepare another EIR unless the City determines, on the basis of substantial evidence, that certain conditions exist that will lead to a new significant impact or substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact, or that a new or previously rejected mitigation measure or alternative would substantially reduce significant effects. Third, CEQA Guidelines section 15183 provides that if the City has prepared an EIR for a zoning plan (like the DTPP), the City shall not prepare another EIR “except as may be necessary to examine whether there are project-specific significant impacts which are peculiar to the project or its siteO.” Fourth, CEQA Guidelines section 15183.3 provides that if specified criteria are met, then the scope of further environmental review is limited. Specifically, effects addressed as significant in a prior EIR need not be addressed even if the EIR does not mitigate those impacts to a less than significant level. This is analyzed further in the Initial Study. Finally, Public Resources Code Sections 21159.21 and 21159.23 provide that if specified criteria are met, then the project may be exempt from CEQA. This is also analyzed further in the Initial Study. 8.A. - Page 19
