The Pete's Harbor property reverted back to its General Commercial-Combined Residential (CG-R) zoning designation; the Peninsula Marina property reverted back to its General Commercial (CG)zoning designation. 1.2 PROPOSED PROJECT The City is currently in receipt of a preliminary application from the same applicant, Glenborough-Pauls, LLC, for development of the redesigned "Peninsula Park" project on the 33.24-acre Peninsula Marina portion of the 46.45-acre 2003 EIR project site. The current Peninsula Park application does not include the 13.21-acre Pete's Harbor property. The current project includes 796 housing units for sale, 10,000 square feet of convenience retail space, a 200-room hotel, approximately 5 acres of marina, and an approximately 1.5-acre community park. The current project also includes a reduction in maximum tower height to 120 feet (approximately 10 stories). The currently proposed preliminary site plan for the Peninsula Park project is illustrated on Figure 1. Summary comparisons of the currently proposed Peninsula Park project with the 2003 EIR project, 2003 EIR Alternative 6, and the City-approved 2004 PDP are provided in Tables 1, 2 and 3, respectively. 1.3 CEQA APPROACH 1.3.1 EIR Addendum for Proposed Project Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines stipulates that an Addendum to a previously-certified EIR "shall" be prepared if some changes or additions to the EIR are necessary, but: • the proposed project revisions are largely mitigating changes; • the changes and revisions do not result in new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of significant effects identified in the previously- certified EIR; • no new mitigation measures or alternatives have been identified since certification of the EIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, and that the applicant declines to adopt; and • no changes have occurred in the project circumstances (project setting) since certification of the EIR which require major revisions to the certified EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant effect.
