SAN LEANDRO SHORELINE DEVELOPMENT EIR ADDENDUM PROJECT CITY OF SAN LEANDRO Page 4 PlaceWorks  Substantial changes would occur with respect to the circumstances under which the project is undertaken that require major revisions to the previous EIR or negative declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; or  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 previous EIR was certified, or the negative declaration was adopted shows any of the following:  The project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the previous EIR or negative declaration.  Significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than identified in the previous EIR.  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 measures or alternatives.  Mitigation measures or alternatives that 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. Where none of the conditions specified in Section 15162 are present, the lead agency must determine whether to prepare an Addendum or whether no further CEQA documentation is required (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162[b]). An Addendum is appropriate where some minor changes or additions to the previously certified EIR are necessary, but there are no new or substantially more severe significant impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15164). Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15164(e), the purpose of this Addendum is to describe and evaluate the modified project (VTTM 8633), assess the proposed modifications to the project evaluated in the Certified EIR and First Addendum, and identify the reasons for the City's conclusion that changes to the Certified Project and associated environmental effects do not meet the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
