7A measures identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration, it was determined that all Page 6 identified impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level. In April 2007, the City Council considered this application and directed several design changes, most significantly the relocation of the project driveway from Horgan Avenue to Woodside Road. To ensure that this revision would not result in any new significant environmental impacts, additional environmental review work was performed by the City's consultants under staff direction, including a new traffic study. The City's environmental consultant, Impact Sciences, prepared an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration to address these project revisions and the Addendum has been prepared in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 and 15162. The Addendum also included letters from public agencies and responses to those letters that were received after the Planning Commission's original action on the Mitigated Negative Declaration in November 2006. The Addendum concludes that the Precise Plan and project as revised will not result in any new impacts and that all impacts identified can be reduced to a less than significant level. The City Council shall consider the original Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum when taking actions on the Zoning Map Amendment and revised Precise Plan. Both the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Addendum were provided under separate cover to the City Council and are on file and made available at the Office of the City Clerk. ALTERNATIVES Do not approve the Zoning Map Amendment or revised Precise Plan. Approve the Zoning Map Amendment and the revised Precise Plan with additional changes to the Precise Plan. Any amendments made to the Precise Plan would need to be assessed to determine if they fall within the scope of the completed environmental review work, or if additional environmental review would be required. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed land use approvals will have no direct fiscal impact on the City. All of the costs of the project, including processing the application, will be borne by the developer. The City will receive an indirect fiscal benefit due to the provision of six units of affordable housing in this project. The City and the Redevelopment Agency have provided significant financial support for the establishment of affordable housing units. The provision of these units within this type of market rate ownership project provides a type of affordable housing option funded entirely by the private sector instead of the City. / ,.' // ,j'j Y' I I). tllfA1ilt/, Yl /~L....../ aureen Ri9 ,fan /Senior Planner ~ ~ ...
