consider the Project with 45 units and the draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project; and WHEREAS, following receipt and consideration of written and verbal comments on the proposed project and Mitigated Negative Declaration at the February 4, 2019 hearing, the City Council directed the applicant to reduce the Project's density and number of units; and WHEREAS, the applicant prepared and submitted revisions to the Project on February 4, 2020, reducing the total number of units from 45 to 42, removing the rooftop patio, and replacing the footprint of the removed units with a widened sport lawn area; and WHEREAS, the revised Project was reviewed and evaluated in accord with CEQA Guidelines section 15073.5 and it was determined that the changes, including the reduction of three dwelling units, removal of the rooftop deck and widening of the sport lawn area, constitute minor revisions to the Project that do not result in any new or significant additional effects; and WHEREAS, the revised Project compensates for the removal of rooftop common open space by relocating the open space amenity to the location of the three removed dwelling units and replaces their footprint with a widened sport lawn area, providing additional pervious surface area for stormwater pollution control; and WHEREAS, the Project revisions do not trigger Recirculation of the Mitigated Negative Declaration because the changes are minor and were made in response to written or verbal comments on the Project's effects identified in the Mitigated Negative Declaration at the City Council hearing held on February 4, 2020 and do not result in any new or avoidable significant effects, in accord with CEQA Guidelines, Section 15073.5(c)(2); and WHEREAS, the City Council, after giving all public notices required by State law and the San Leandro Zoning Code, held a duly noticed public hearing on September 21, 2020 on the the draft Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration for the Project; and WHEREAS, at said public hearing the City Council again considered all oral and written information, testimony, and comments received during the public review process, the testimony and information received at the public hearing, the oral report from City staff, the written report from City staff, exhibits presented, pertinent plans and documents, the recommendation of the Planning Commission, the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, the application of all mitigating measures, and all other materials and information contained in the record of proceedings relating to the Project, which are maintained at the City of San Leandro Community Development Department (collectively, "Environmental Information").
