4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ANALYSIS The information below addresses each of the environmental issues that were previously analyzed in the Certified EIR issue area for the purpose of describing how the Project is within the scope of the Overlay Zone that was analyzed in the Certified EIR, would not result in any new significant impacts, and would not increase the severity of the significant impacts identified in the Certified EIR. Consistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15168(c)(4), a modified Environmental Checklist Form was used to compare the anticipated environmental effects of the Project with those analyzed and disclosed in the Certified EIR and to review whether any of the conditions set forth in PRC 21166 or CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent or supplemental EIR have been triggered. This analysis provides the following information as to each of the impact thresholds analyzed in each of the impact categories: Impact Determination in the EIR. This column sets forth the impact determination made in the Certified EIR for each impact threshold. Any Substantial Changes Involving New Significant Impacts or a Substantial Increase in the Severity of Significant Impacts? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(1) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether the changes represented by the Project will result in new significant impacts that have not already been considered and mitigated by the measures in the Certified EIR or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. Any Substantially Changed Circumstances Involving New Significant Impacts or a Substantial Increase in the Severity of Significant Impacts? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether there have been substantial changes to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken (e.g., changes to the Project Site or vicinity) that have occurred subsequent to the preparation of the Certified EIR, which would result in the Project having a new significant environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified impact. Any New Information of Substantial Importance? Pursuant to Section 15162(a)(3)(A-D) of the CEQA Guidelines, this column indicates whether new information of substantial importance, which was not known and could not have been known with the exercise of reasonable diligence at the time the Certified EIR was certified, shows that: (A) the Project will have one or more significant effects not discussed in the Certified EIR; or (B) that significant effects previously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the Certified EIR; or (C) that 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 proponents decline to adopt the mitigation measure or alternative; or (D) that mitigation measures or alternatives, which are considerably different from those analyzed in the Certified EIR would substantially reduce one or more significant effects on the environment, but the project Cabrillo Town Center City of Santa Ana Technical Memorandum August 2023 City Council 18 — 486 10/3/2023
