The Commission finds in accordance with its own independent judgment that Plan Amendment-Rezone Application No. P20-01665 w ould not require major revisions to Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2017031012) for the Southwest Fresno Specific Plan due to new or substantially increased significant environmental effects . The analysis contained in the Environmental Checklist confirms that the project’s proposed minor modifications are within the scope of the Final Program EIR (SCH No. 2017031012) for the Southwes t Fresno Specific Plan and will have no new or more severe significant effects and no new mitigation measures are required. Therefore, it has been determined based upon the evidence in the record that the project will not have a significant impact on the environment and that the filing of an addendum is appropriate in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
