8.A. - Page 141 data was incorrect and it overstated the size of the residences. Appendix C (Table C-1 in the revised Final EIR) has now been corrected and contains updated residence size data (which was obtained from the County Assessor's office). There were minor corrections made to the revised final EIR and MMRP, which was released on Tuesday, February 5, 2013. These minor corrections and typos are summarized in the letter from the consultant who prepared the EIR (Attachment 5). The revised Final EIR has been updated to reflect these changes and is available at Planning Services or http://www.redwoodcity.org/phed/planning/laurel/ The City has determined that the February 2010 Draft EIR is adequate to address the environmental impacts of the new (2011 PD) project, subject to the changes and corrections included in this Revised Final EIR, as the February 2010 Draft EIR analyzes the impacts of the original, similar project with the same or reduced effects. The changes to the project described herein do not constitute "significant new information," as defined in CEQA Guidelines §15088.5. "New information added to an EIR is not "significant" unless the EIR is changed in a way that deprives the public of a meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the project or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid such an effect (including a feasible project alternative) that the project's proponents have declined to implement." The 2011 PD project would not result in new significant impacts, substantial increase in the severity of an impact, and is not considerably different from the original application. Recirculation of the Draft EIR is therefore not required. Furthermore, this Revised Final EIR has been prepared to inform the public about the changes to the project application and the subsequent updates to the information contained in the August 2010 Final EIR.
