1. The above recitals are true and correct and together with the staff report <br />and supporting materials, including without limitation the Addendum, and all other <br />documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials <br />in the City's file for the proposed Exchange Agreement Project, and other applicable City <br />laws and regulations, and all associated approved and certified environmental <br />documents, have together served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for <br />the findings and actions set forth in this Resolution and are incorporated herein by <br />reference. <br />2. State CEQA Guidelines Section 15164 requires lead agencies to prepare <br />an addendum to a previously certified EIR or MND if some changes or additions to the <br />project analyzed therein are necessary, but none of the conditions requiring preparation <br />of subsequent EIR or negative declaration are present. The City Council of the City of <br />Redwood City, which is the lead agency under CEQA for preparing the Addendum and <br />has reviewed and considered the Addendum and EIR, hereby finds that those documents <br />taken together contain a complete and accurate reporting of all of the environmental <br />impacts associated with the Exchange Agreement Project. The City Council further finds <br />that the Addendum and administrative record have been completed and compiled in <br />accordance with CEQA, the State CEQA Guidelines. The City Council further finds and <br />determines that the Addendum reflects the City's independent judgment. <br />3. Based on the substantial evidence set forth in the record, including but not <br />limited to the Addendum, the City Council finds that an addendum is the appropriate <br />document for disclosing the minor changes and additions to the EIR that are necessary <br />to account for the Exchange Agreement Project. The City Council further finds that based <br />on the whole record before it, including but not limited to the Addendum, the EIR, all <br />related and supporting technical reports, and the staff report, none of the conditions <br />identified in State CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring further subsequent <br />environmental review have occurred because: <br />a) The Exchange Agreement Project does not constitute a substantial change <br />that would require major revisions to the EIR due to the involvement of new <br />significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the <br />previously identified significant effects; and <br />b) There have been no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances <br />under which the Exchange Agreement Project or the 1548 Maple Project will be <br />constructed that would require major revisions to the EIR due to the involvement <br />of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of <br />the previously identified significant effects; and <br />c) There has been no new information of substantial importance that was not <br />known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence <br />at the time the EIR was certified that has come to light, and that shows any of the <br />following: (i) that the Exchange Agreement Project or the 1548 Maple Project <br />would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the EIR; (ii) that <br />ATTY/RESO.0076/CC RESO APPROVING ADDENDUM TO EIR FOR MAPLE ST EXCHANGE RESO NO. 15986 <br />REV: 09-22-2021 VR MUFF # 304, 609 <br />Page 3 of 4 <br />
