Questions?
City of Paso Robles – Development Review Committee 15
The Planning Commission recommends that the City Council consider and make the following findings:
The preparation of a subsequent or supplemental MND or EIR is not required for the Project because the Project:
A. Will not result in substantial changes that would require major revisions of the 2012 MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and
B. Will not result in substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is developed that would require major revisions of the 2012 MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of the previously identified significant effects; and C. Does not present new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the 2012 MND documents were certified showing any of the following:
(i) the Project would have one or more significant effects not discussed in the 2012 MND; (ii) that significant effects previously examined would be substantially more severe than shown in the 2012 MND;
(iii) that mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects, but the lead agency declined to adopt such measures; and
(iv) that mitigation measures or alternatives considerably different from those analyzed would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but which the lead agency declined to adopt.
