09/09/2013 separate document entitled "Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan Project"; and WHEREAS, no significant new information has been added to the EIR after public notice of the availability of the DEIR, under CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5. The additional information that has been provided does not show (1) a new significant environmental impact, (2) a substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact, (3) that a feasible project alternative or mitigation measure would clearly lessen the significant impacts of the Project, but that the project's proponents decline to adopt it, or (4) that the DEIR was so fundamentally and basically inadequate and conclusory in nature that meaningful public review and comments are precluded. The EIR mitigation measures are incorporated into the Precise Plan for the Project to avoid or substantially lessen significant environmental effects. Therefore, no further analysis is required and there is no need to recirculate a revised EIR for further review and comment; and WHEREAS, the Final EIR dated May 2013 and Revisions to the Final EIR dated August 2013 were made publically available for review on the City's website; and WHEREAS, on August 20, 2013, the Planning Commission held a duly noticed public hearing and recommended the following Project approvals: (1) Certification of the Final EIR (including the revisions to the Final EIR), (2) Zoning text amendments that provide for the ability to adopt alternative PC permit procedures and findings for property subject to a development agreement; (3) a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the Project area to Planned Community District; (4) the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan; and (5) a proposed Development Agreement between the City and Stanford; and WHEREAS, on September 9, 2013, the City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the Final EIR, as well as the following Project approvals: (1) Zoning text amendments that provide for the ability to adopt alternative PC permit procedures and findings for property subject to a development agreement; (2) a Zoning Map Amendment to rezone the Project area to Planned Community District; (3) the Stanford in Redwood City Precise Plan; and (4) a proposed Development Agreement between the City and Stanford. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY, AS FOLLOWS: 1. The above recitals are true and correct and together with the Staff Report and the application materials, including without limitation the Final EIR, Precise Plan, and all other documents, reports, studies, memoranda, maps, oral and written testimony, and materials in the City's file for the applications and the Project, and all adopted City planning documents relating to the Project and the property including the City's General Plan, Zoning Ordinance, and other applicable City laws and regulations, have together served as an adequate and appropriate evidentiary basis for the findings and recommendations set forth in this Resolution.
