Environmental Impact Report is true and correct.
SECTION 2. This Commission finds, based upon the entire record:
i. The approval of General Plan Amendment No. GPA 14-02 (Commercial
with Residential Flex Overlay) will not be detrimental to the public health or welfare or
injurious to the properties or improvements in such area or vicinity. 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.
SECTION 4. The Addendum to the Certified EIR for the Arcadia General Plan
Update has been completed in compliance with CEQA and the CEQA Guidelines. The
Addendum to the Certified EIR need not be circulated for public review pursuant to
CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(c), but shall be attached to the Final EIR of the Arcadia
General Plan Update per CEQA Guidelines Section (Cal. Code Regs., Title 14, Change
3 § 15000 et seq.).

3
Zone Change No. ZC 14-02, Text Amendment No. TA 14-02, and adoption of the
