7.A. - Page 165 4.0 Addendum Determination and Findings 4. Between October 11, 2010 and May 2011, City of Redwood City staff and consultants prepared revisions to the Zoning Ordinance consisting of: a) Drafting of a new Mixed Use Corridor District Article of the Zoning Ordinance. The new Mixed Use Corridor District has five sub-districts with unique development regulations. b) Drafting of revisions to Article 30: Off-Street Parking and Loading to implement the new Mixed Use Corridor District. c) Drafting of revisions to Article 2: Definitions associated with the new Mixed Use Corridor District Article of the Zoning Ordinance. d) Drafting of revisions to Article 33: Nonconforming Lots, Uses, Structures, and Parking associated with the new Mixed Use Corridor District. e) Drafting of revisions to Article 3: Designation of Districts associated with the new Mixed Use Corridor District Article of the Zoning Ordinance. f) Drafting of revisions to the official Redwood City Zoning Map to achieve consistency with the General Plan Land Use Map. 5. Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment and the revisions to Articles 2 and 30 resulting from the preparation of the Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment do not constitute "substantial changes" to the project. 6. Since certification of the 2010 FEIR, no major redevelopment activity has occurred in the City of Redwood City. Thus, pursuant to Section 15162(a)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, no substantial changes have occurred regarding the circumstances under which the project is to be undertaken. 7. The unavoidable significant environmental effects identified in the 2010 FEIR are associated with the long-term build-out of properties in Redwood City pursuant to General Plan land use policy and the implementation of those policies through application of the Zoning Ordinance. The proposed Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not change land use policies or allow for any intensification of use beyond that which was analyzed in the 2010 FEI R. Thus, pursuant to Section 15162(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new information suggests that the MUC Zoning Amendment will have any additional significant effects not previously identified, nor any significant effects will be more severe than previously shown, no mitigation measures previously identified as infeasible are now feasible, and there are no mitigation measures or alternatives associated with the MUC Zoning Amendment that are considerably different from those analyzed in the FEIR that would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment. Based on the analysis contained in this document and the above findings, the City of Redwood City hereby determines that the scope of environmental impact associated with the adoption of the Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment was fully and adequately addressed in the 2010 FEIR for the New General Plan for Redwood City. No further environmental documentation is required for adoption of the Draft Mixed Use Corridor District Zoning Ordinance Amendment.
