Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, the proposed Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance Amendment does not constitute "substantial changes"to the project. 6. Since certification of the 2010 FEIR, no major redevelopment activity has occurred in the areas identified for zone changes. 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 Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance Amendment will not change land use policies or allow for any intensification of use beyond that which was analyzed in the 2010 FEIR. Thus, pursuant to Section 15162(a)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, no new information suggests that the Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance 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 Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance 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 Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance Amendment was fully and adequately addressed in the 2010 FEIR for the New General Plan for Redwood City.
