City has undertaken several actions to meet its Regional Housing Needs <br /> Allocation ("RHNA") and to review and plan for future housing and retail uses on the Project <br /> Site, including, without limitation, the following: <br /> (1) CEQA Compliance.

The Housing <br /> Element EIR anticipated that a high density residential project of up to 168 housing units would <br /> be constructed on the Project Site. Upon receipt of Developer's project applications, City <br /> prepared and considered an Addendum to the Housing Element EIR and determined that the <br /> Housing Element EIR fully analyzed all the impacts of the Project. <br /> (2) General Plan Amendment.
