The Draft Initial { measures identified in the Certified EIR of the Arcadia General Plan Update remain feasible: 1. There have been no substantial changes proposed in the project which would require major revisions to the previous Environmental Impact Report ("EIR") due to the involvement of new significant effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. 2. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that will require major revisions of the previous EIR due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. 3. No new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could have not been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the previous EIR was certified as complete, shows any of the following: A) The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR; B) Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the previous EIR; C) Mitigation measures or alternatives previously found not to be feasible would in fact be feasible, and would substantially reduce one or more significant effects of the project, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternative; or D) Mitigation measures or alternatives which are considerably different from those analyzed in the previous EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project proponent declines to adopt the mitigation measures or alternatives.
