1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />1 <br />on the EIR. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15168 (c), the City may determine, <br />after conducting a written analysis, that a proposed site specific activity is within the <br />scope of the project and impacts covered by the EIR, and therefore no further CEQA <br />analysis is required. If the City determines that the proposed activity is not within the <br />scope of the project and impacts covered by the EIR, the City will need to determine <br />what appropriate subsequent or supplemental environmental documentation may be <br />necessary in order for such activity to proceed. <br />The Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch EIR can also be <br />considered an EIR for a "zoning action" for purposes of Public Resources Code section <br />21083.3 and CEQA Guidelines section 15183. These provisions generally limit the scope <br />of necessary environmental review for site specific approvals following the preparation <br />of an EIR for a "zoning action For such site specific approvals, CEQA generally <br />applies only to impacts that are "peculiar to the parcel or to the project except where <br />"substantial new information" shows that previously identified impacts will be more <br />significant than previously assumed. Notably, impacts are considered not to be "peculiar <br />to the parcel or the project" if they can be substantially mitigated pursuant to previously <br />adopted "uniformly applied development policies or standards." <br />The Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch EIR endeavors to <br />anticipate as many impacts of future development in the Specific Plan Amendment as is <br />feasible at this stage. When future development proposals that are consistent with the <br />Specific Plan Amendment and consistent with the impacts described in the EIR are <br />brought forward, it is possible that no additional CEQA documentation will be necessary. <br />Future development proposals that are not consistent with the Specific Plan Amendment <br />or that would result in impacts not anticipated in the EIR will require additional CEQA <br />documentation. <br />Stoneridge Drive Specific Plan Amendment/Staples Ranch <br />Draf October, 2008 <br />3 <br />
