Tract 8676, 2025 Santa Rita Road Planning Commission Page 6 of 6 impacts and cumulative impacts which were not discussed in the prior EIR prepared for the zoning action, general plan, or community plan, or (3) are previously identified significant effects which, as a result of substantial new information which was not known at the time the EIR was certified, are determined to have a more severe adverse impact than discussed in the prior EIR. Section 15183(c) further specifies that if an impact is not peculiar to the parcel or to the proposed project, has been addressed as a significant effect in the prior EIR, or can be substantially mitigated by the imposition of uniformly applied development policies or standards, then an additional EIR need not be prepared for that project solely on the basis of that impact. As illustrated by the attached Consistency Checklist, the proposed project is found to be in conformance with the analysis and conclusions of the Housing Element Update FEIR. This determination is based on the following criteria: 1. There are no new significant effects peculiar to the proposed project or its site; 2. There are no new significant effects that were not previously evaluated in the Housing Element Update FEIR; 3. There are no new significant off-site or cumulative impacts that were not analyzed in the Element Update FEIR, and 4. There are no adverse impacts that are more severe than those previously identified in the Element Update FEIR. The following mitigation measures identified in the Housing Element Update FEIR are applicable to the proposed project, as described in each environmental topic: • MM AIR-1a • MM AIR-1b • MM BIO-1 • MM GEO-6 • MM HAZ-2 • MM NOI-1 • MM NOI-2 • MM TRANS-2 This evaluation concludes the proposed project qualifies for an exemption from additional environmental review under Section 15183 because it is consistent with the development density and land use characteristics established by the City, as analyzed by the Housing Element Update FEIR. Further, the Housing Element Update FEIR adequately anticipated and described the impacts of the proposed project, identified applicable mitigation measures necessary to reduce project-specific impacts, and the proposed project would implement these mitigation measures. At the October 30, 2023, meeting the Zoning Administrator found the 2023-2031 (6th Cycle) Housing Element Update Program EIR CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 Consistency Checklist for the Harmony Condominium project is adequate to serve as the environmental documentation for this project and satisfy all the requirements of CEQA.
