3.15.2 Does the Project propose changes that would result in new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions of the Certified EIR? The Project includes the demolition and removal of all existing improvements from the Project Site and development of the site with a mixed -use development including up to 507 residential dwelling units, approximately 26,800 square feet of commercial uses, and associated parking, utility infrastructure, landscaping, and open space, all of which is allowed under the Overlay Zone, and is consistent with the Overlay Zone standards. The Project does not include any development that would extend beyond the building envelope considered in the Certified EIR, and no changes are proposed to the Overlay Zone to accommodate the Project. The Project's demand for parks would be substantially similar to that identified in the Certified EIR. Additionally, the Project would be required to make payments of Park Acquisition and Development Fees based on the City's Municipal Code Section 34-200 to Section 34-214 and to provide open space in accordance with the City's open space requirements. The Project would provide a total of 33,572 square feet of private open space and 76,187 square feet of common open space (a total of 109,759 square feet), exceeding the amount required by 58,769 square feet. The Project would also provide 47,810, exceeding the amount required by 8,744 square feet. Thus, the Project would not result in any new or increased significant impacts related to parks beyond impacts already identified in the Certified EIR. 3.15.3 Any substantial changes in circumstances involving new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts that will require major revisions of the Certified EIR? No substantial changes in the circumstances related to recreation have occurred within the vicinity of the Project since the certification of the Certified EIR that would result in new or more severe significant environmental impacts. 3.15.4 Any new information of substantial importance that demonstrates that the Project would result in new significant impacts or substantial increase in the severity of significant impacts? There is no new information of substantial importance that has become available relative recreation that would result in new or more severe significant environmental impacts. 3.15.5 Mitigation Measures Addressing Impacts None required. 3.15.6 Conclusion Based on the above, no new significant recreation impacts or a substantial increase in previously identified public services impacts would occur as a result of the Project. Therefore, the impacts to recreation do not meet the standards for a subsequent or supplemental EIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162.
