review period. In accordance with CEQA, the City prepared written responses to all comments <br />received during the public review period, both oral and written; the City also prepared written <br />responses to the comments received after the public review period. The City prepared a Final <br />EIR dated August 19, 2016, attached as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by reference. The <br />Final EIR includes an annotated copy of each comment letter identifying specific comments, <br />responses to each specific comment, and clarifications and minor corrections to information <br />presented in the Draft EIR. Oral comments on the Draft EIR were also submitted in writing, for <br />which the City prepared written responses. The responses to comments provide the City's good <br />faith, reasoned analysis of the environmental issues raised by the comments; and <br />WHEREAS, in the course of preparing written responses, information was generated for <br />the Final EIR. The City carefully reviewed both the comments and the written responses to assess <br />whether they constituted significant new information that would require recirculation of the Draft <br />EIR under the standards in CEQA Guidelines section 15088.5. After its review, the City <br />determined that the Final EIR, including the comments, clarifications and minor corrections to the <br />Draft EIR, do not constitute significant new information requiring recirculation of the Draft EIR; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, a staff report, dated August 25, 2016 and incorporated herein by reference, <br />described and analyzed the Project and the related Draft and Final EIRs for the Planning <br />Commission; and <br />WHEREAS, the Planning Commission reviewed the staff report and the Draft and Final <br />EIRs at a noticed public hearing on August 25, 2016 at which time all interested parties had the <br />opportunity to be heard; and <br />WHEREAS, following the public hearing, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution <br />2016-002, incorporated herein by reference, recommending that the City Council certify the EIR <br />and make all required mitigation measures and other findings. The Planning Commission then <br />adopted a series of resolutions recommending that the City Council approve the Project; and <br />RESOLUTION NO. 2016-117 <br />
