AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA OUINTA
Introduction & Purpose
The Centre Pointe Project Specific Plan is an amendment to a previously
adopted Specific Plan that established the philosophy and guidelines for
the development of the property located at the southeast comer of Miles
Avenue and Washington Street in the City of La Quinta. The guidelines
presented within this document are in accordance with the adopted plan
and the City's Zoning Code and General Plan. The guidelines reflect the
quality and design desired at the site and conforms to the City's overall
goal of preserving, maintaining and enhancing the high quality of life La
Quinta residents enjoy. Although the Plan is designed to ensure the
quality of the development, it also provides a degree of flexibility to allow
future development to respond to the changes in society and the
economic marketplace of the region which will inevitably occur over the
build out period. In cases where the zoning and development regulations
are nonspecific within the document, the zoning and development is
guided by the City of La Quinta Zoning ordinance in effect at the time.
Enabling Legislation
• The authority to prepare, adopt, and implement a Specific Plan is
granted to the City of La Quinta by the California Government Code
(Title 7, Division 1, Chapter 3, Article 8, and Sections 65450
through 65457).
As with General Plans, the Planning Commission must hold a
public hearing before it can recommend to the City Council the
adoption of a Specific Plan or an amendment thereto. The City
Council of La Quinta may adopt a Specific Plan and/or amendment
to the Specific Plan by either ordinance or resolution.
The Specific Plan is a regulatory document that, once adopted, will
amend the Zoning Ordinance, and serve as the Development Code
for the Development Site. Upon completion of the Specific Plan
adoption process, future development must be consistent with the
Specific Plan and amendments thereto.
The Properly
Main access to La Quinta is achieved by traveling south on Washington
Street from Interstate 10. The approximate 50 -acre subject property is
situated at the southeast corner of Miles Avenue and Washington Street, a
major entry point to the City.

Site Concept
The Site Concept is presented in Exhibit B of this document. As the
gateway to the City of La Quinta, the architectural and landscape design of
the site will be developed to enhance the qualities of the City. The
intersection of Miles and Washington, due to its prominent location, will be
enhanced with landscaping and monumentation to create a sense of
arrival to the site. Landscaping along the streets will respond to the
existing boulevard character. A landscape buffer will be designed to
mitigate traffic noise and will be oriented to preserve views of distant
PAGE 10

THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
mountains. Sloping berms at a maximum height of 4' from curb height will
be planted in layers to restrict the views of parking areas from surrounding
streets.
Seeley Drive will have a landscaped median and parkways throughout the
project. The broad, pedestrian -scaled character of the street will run
through the site.
In the residential area, sidewalks behind parkway planting will provide
access to the neighborhood park. The pedestrian -accessible park will
serve as green space for the residents.
Architectural Character
The buildings constructed on the site should maintain a consistent theme
carried out by quality materials and imaginative design consistent with the
existing character of La Quinta. Building design shall be unique to the site
in that the configuration should take advantage of and preserve
surrounding vistas. Additional reference material is provided in Exhibit C
of this document. Other salient characteristics of the architectural
character are:
• The use of simple plaster masses with deep punched openings,
arched entryways, and shading elements.
• Horizontal and vertical building offsets to create articulated breaks
and visual relief.
• Wood detailing, the work and vivid colors at key places along broad
plaster masses.
• Building integration with indigenous landscaping, such that the
architecture appears as an extension and outgrowth of the
landscape.
• Strategic orientation and configuration of buildings and shading
elements to passively heat and cool spaces.
• False roofs are prohibited. Flat roofs may be used in combination
with other roof forms.
The simple yet strong architectural vocabulary for the development should
rely on strategically placed key details and the careful selection of
landscape materials. The details employed include arcades, balconies
deeply recessed openings, low walls, wood detailing and awnings.
PAGE 11
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Resort Uses
• The following architectural elements should be incorporated in
order to increase building articulation and reduce the scale of the
three-story hotels:
o Elements such as awnings, balconies roof overhangs, or
trellises that protrude from building elevations.
o Varying roof plate heights that create a layered or staggered
roofline.
o Elements such as arcades or balconies that "step" in plan and
elevation, creating shadow and depth.
• Entries should be articulated with larger openings in the facade,
richer building materials and colors, and arcades or portals.
• Entry plazas and courtyards should include shading elements such
as trellises and landscaping.
Residential Uses
The design of the residential component shall incorporate elements that
respond to the climate of La Quinta. Such design features include patios,
balconies, courtyards, arcades, plazas and paseos. Extended roof
overhangs shall be incorporated into building design to provide additional
shade. Overall design of the residential component shall incorporate the
following guidelines:
• Architectural design shall be unique in character, but consistent
with surrounding area.
• Orientation of structures should consider the climate of the area.
• Housing edges should maximize view potential and access to
natural open areas.
• Porches and balconies should be designed to promote social
interaction among community residents and should be an integral
component of the buildings architectural style.
• Mechanical elements of the building shall be screened from view
by walls, fences or landscaping.
• Varying house configurations is encouraged to promote variety in
the street scene.
PAGE 12
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
• Encourage the use of curvilinear streets.
Landscape
Overall development identity and character is defined and enhanced by
the continuity of landscape materials along publicly visible areas.
Individual parcel identity can be established through variations in
landscaping at major entry points, along smaller streets within the
development, and within individual parcel open space areas. The HOA
shall maintain all common area landscaping in perpetuity.
Exhibits D 1-5 provide general guidance for the development of a final
landscape plan for the development.
Landscape Concept
The landscape architectural theme for the development is to create an
identifiable "signature" landscape character for the development.
Landscaping is subject to the City of La Quinta water efficient landscape
ordinance. Additional guidelines within this document are intended to
achieve the following goals:
• Create a signature landscape theme defining the character of La
Quinta
• Enhance major views by landscape treatment
• Utilize drought tolerant landscape
• Create hierarchy of theme signage from monumental entrance to
individual parcel identity
• Create focal points
• Utilize tree massing to screen the rear and sides of outdoor service
uses (i.e. trash enclosures, etc)
• Strategic clusters of dense landscaping to serve as wind barriers
The landscape concept shall consist of three zones to maximize water
efficiency as well as to keep maintenance at a minimum. The three zones
are as follows:
• Water Efficient `Drip Zone' — These areas will receive the least
amount of use (e.g., median islands, parking islands, etc.).
Plantings in this zone will consist of drought tolerant low shrubs,
ground covers and desert trees. Crushed 'fines' rock and large
boulders can be used in addition to ground covers. The irrigation
system will be drip. (See Exhibit D-1)
PAGE 13
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Transitional Landscape Zone — These areas will bridge the gap
between zone 1 and zone 3 and generally be seen along the street
frontages. Medium shrubs, canopy trees and a limited amount of
turf will be used. Turf areas should be irrigated with short flat spray
heads that have short radii to reduce the amount of over spray and
resulting damage to adjacent hardscape. (See Exhibit D-1)
Building Entry Zone — These areas will be located at building
entries, courtyards or other recreational facilities that will receive
maximum use.
Ground covers, shrubs and trees with more abundant foliage will be
used to create a cooler, quieter environment for the users of these
spaces. (See Exhibit D-1)
Streetscape Concept
The streetscape concept is the primary landscape influence for the
development and is intended to unify the development. The streetscape
components consist of meandering sidewalks, identifying street tree
patterns, and a bermed edge accented with shrubs, ground covers and
rock. Turf areas will be located at intersections where ample space is
provided. Shrubs will be used as a screen where necessary. Root
barriers for trees shall be used for any tree that is located closer than 6'
from adjacent hardscape.
Washington Street and Miles Avenue Tree Design
The dominant tree along Miles Avenue shall be Prosopis Alba (Thornless
Mesquite) planted in informal clusters to follow the meandering walk
approximately 50 ft. intervals. The trees should be accented by clusters of
Washingtonia filifera (California Fan Palm). Phoenix dactylifera (Date
Palm) should be incorporated at significant development entry drives.
Washingtonia robusta (Mexican Fan Palm) can be used outside right-of-
ways to accentuate buildings or other site enhancements. Landscape
lighting may occur at specimen plants or to accent clusters.
Seeley Drive Tree Design
Seeley Drive should be planted with Tipuana Tipu (Tipu Tree) to lineate
the road. Washingtonia filifera (California Fan Palm) shall be used to
accent major parcel entries. Significant specimen plants will be accented
with uplighting. To supplement this pattern, other species of trees can be
used on site. Please refer to the plant palette (See Exhibit E).
PAGE 14
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Development Entries at Washington Street and Miles Avenue
Development entries at Washington Street and Miles Avenue shall
continue the Phoenix dactylifera (Date Palm) theme from the development
entries as mentioned above. Phoenix dactylifera (Date Palm) shall be
spaced formally at 25' intervals along the center median. Along either side
of the street, Phoenix dactylifera (Date Palm) will occur at 25' intervals and
be placed to follow the contour of the meandering sidewalk. (See Exhibit
D-2, 3).
Parking Areas
Parking area landscaping shall be designed to accomplish the following:
• Provide shading
• Serve as a visual barrier from Miles Avenue, Washington Street
and Seeley Drive.
Landscaped islands shall be provided at the ends of stall rows to break up
parking areas by creating a series of smaller parking pockets. Parking
pockets shall be distributed at a minimum of one per 10 parking stalls and
should provide a minimum of 10' landscaped width to allow planting and
mounding. The landscaped islands shall be a minimum of 9' wide
providing a minimum of 6' wide landscape space. Islands shall contain
large canopy trees to provide shade.
Parking lots shall have 24" box trees (2"-3" Caliper) whose placement shall
be such that the mature tree spread will shade fifty percent (50%) of the
parking stall area with tree canopies within 15 years.
Along Miles Avenue and Washington Street, parking must be screened
with a block wall and/or berm (3:1 slope maximum, height of 4' from curb
height) with adequate landscaping planted between the property line and
the paved parking areas. Shrubs should partially screen cars and aisles,
transforming vast parking lots into a series of smaller alcoves. (See
Exhibit D-5).
Minimum Landscaping Guidelines
These development regulations are meant to meet the City of La Quinta
water efficient landscape ordinance and to define an appropriate plant
palette that will reinforce the unique identity of the development, yet
provide flexibility and diversity in planting design.
• A limited selection of plant materials used in simple, significant
compositions is encouraged. Planting design should be compatible
PAGE 15
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
with and compliment adjacent plantings, reinforcing and enhancing
the individual architecture and design of the site.
• The materials on the Plant Palette (See Exhibit E) have been
selected for their contribution to the development theme, their
adaptability to climatic and soil conditions and with respect for long
term cost effective maintenance.
Detailed landscape and irrigation plans are to be prepared by a
landscape architect licensed in the State of California for each
individual component of the development. The landscape plans
are to be submitted to the City for review. All landscape areas are
to be served by a permanent automatic underground irrigation
system.
Art in Public Places
Fees generated for the development of this site shall be utilized to provide
public art in Land Use Area I and IV. In lieu fees will not serve as a
substitute for public art.
Sustainability Guidelines
In response to the recent California energy crisis the City is taking a
proactive role in development by ensuring that energy efficiency standards
will be incorporated into this Specific Plan. An energy efficiency plan shall
be submitted to the City for approval and shall include the following
aspects: orientation, shading, solar paneling and energy efficient products.
Circulation
The circulation system for the Specific Plan conforms to the requirements
of the City of La Quinta General Plan — Circulation element by providing a
hierarchy of vehicular traffic -ways with pedestrian -ways segregated within
the plan area. A detailed discussion of the technical issues of traffic
impact analysis is presented in a site specific report prepared by Urban
Crossroads. The traffic impact analysis shall be revised with future Site
Development applications to reflect the changes in Land Use Areas as
proposed by this Specific Plan Amendment No. 2.
The following guidelines shall be implemented to provide a hierarchy of
travel options to residents and guests within the development:
PAGE 16
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
Construct internal roadways that provide a safe route for
development ingress and egress to both commercial and
residential areas.
Construct bike paths connecting with the system of bike paths
outside the development area consistent with the architectural
theme and landscape character.
Construct pedestrian meandering walkways connecting
commercial, residential areas with surrounding sidewalks.
Walkways shall blend with the surrounding landscape character
and provide interconnectivity within the development.
Off -Site Improvements
The development shall contribute towards a citywide roadway and
traffic signal improvement program as a result of infrastructure
development fees for the City of La Quinta. These fees shall be
paid at the building permit stage of development.
• The Public Works Department shall consider the option to install a
left tum pocket for southbound Seeley Drive, north of Miles
Avenue.
On -Site Improvements
• Construct Seeley Drive from Washington Street to Miles Avenue at its
ultimate width as a local street in conjunction with development.
• Sight distance at the development entrance should be reviewed with
respect to standard Caltrans/City of La Quinta sight distance standards
at the time of preparation of final grading, landscape and street
improvement plans.
Traffic signaling/striping at Miles Avenue and Seeley Drive should
be implemented when warranted in conjunction with detailed
construction plans for the development site and shall be financed
100% by resort developer.
Wind & Erosion Control
The Coachella Valley experiences periods of moderate to high wind
conditions. Therefore, wind blown dust and sand are a concern during
local grading operations. The South Coast Air Quality Management
District and the Environmental Protection Agency have instituted a plan in
PAGE 17
AMENDMENT #2 ADOPTED NOVEMBER 1, 2005
THE CENTRE POINTE PROJECT SPECIFIC PLAN
CITY OF LA QUINTA
the Coachella Valley to reduce excess PM 10 (small particle dust). These
provisions must be adhered to during grading operations.
SWPPP/NPDES/PM10
The provisions of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) apply to construction projects over 5 acres in size. The
development will require a Notice of Intent (NOI) and NPDES permit
containing a Best Management Practices Plan to be filed/prepared.
Furthermore, a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must also
be prepared for the development and submitted to the City of La Quinta.
Drainage and Flood Control
Utilities
The drainage plan proposes to collect and convey storm flows via a piped
storm drain system to the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel. This
system would be installed in phases starting with the northerly portion of
the site (hotel and casitas) including facilities contained within Seeley
Drive. If the plans for the remainder of the property (medical office
building, residential and boutique hotel) are advanced to the point of
knowing where the storm drain(s) would be located, then the entire system
may be installed with phase one.
If the detailed plans are still undergoing refinement, then one or more
temporary retention basins may be installed to collect the stormwater until
those phases are constructed. A feature of the grading and drainage
design will be an overflow channel in the event that the storm drains
become inoperative. A requirement with the storm drain system will be an
intercept to collect nuisance water such as a dry well or sand filter system.
With the drywells or alternative intercepts sized appropriately, this type of
system eliminates nuisance flow discharges to the channel, provides an
emergency overflow through the channel wall and eliminates surface
runoff over the channel wall. Due to the phasing of the development,
reciprocal drainage agreements may be necessary.
The infrastructure that will serve the development is described below and
is designed to provide a coordinated system of infrastructure and public
services to adequately serve the plan area at full build out. The
infrastructure and utilities plan identifies standards relative to land use for
the plan area and establishes the infrastructure and public service policies.

Sewer Plan
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley
Water District (CVWD) for sewer service. As shown in Exhibit G, an
existing 18 -inch sewer main is located along the CVWD channel access
road, to the south of the development. Preliminary discussions with
CVWD have indicated that two connections to this existing District facility
are appropriate. One sewer service will connect to an existing manhole
near the southwest comer of the development (near the intersection of
Washington Street and the Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel) and
extend northward along Washington Street to future Seeley Drive. This
line will extend up Seeley and provide service for the proposed restaurant,
commercial, hotel, and townhouse developments. The second sewer
service will connect to an existing manhole near the southeast corner of
the development. This service will extend on site and be used for future
single-family residential development.
Water Plan
The development is located within the jurisdiction of the Coachella Valley
Water District for water service. As shown in Exhibit H, existing 18 -inch
water stubs are located at both ends of future Seeley Drive. Preliminary
discussions with CVWD have indicated that the developer would be
required to complete this 18 -inch loop. On-site domestic, irrigation, and
fire flow water would be provided from the proposed 18 -inch pipe.
Electrical Plan
Electric service is provided to the site by the Imperial Irrigation District
(IID). A preliminary discussion with IID has indicated that electrical
facilities are located on the south side of Miles Avenue and the east side of
Washington Street. Further discussion with IID will be necessary to
identify the exact location of these facilities. Service to the development is
assumed to be routine.
Other Utilities
Natural Gas - Natural gas service is provided to the site by the Southern
California Gas Company. Based on "as -built" plans, an existing gas main
has been identified in Washington Street, adjacent to the site. Further
discussion with the Gas Company and a field investigation are
recommended to determine the exact location of the pipe. Service to the
development is assumed to be routine. However, some cutting and
removal/reconstruction of pavement and curb will be required.
Telephone - Telephone service will be provided to the development by
Verizon. Based on "as -built" plans, existing telephone facilities have been

identified in both Washington Street and Miles Avenue. Further discussion
with Verizon will be necessary to accurately locate these facilities and
determine the preferred connection points. Service to the development is
assumed to be routine. It is likely that some cutting and
removal/reconstruction of pavement and curb will be required.
Cable Television - Cable Television service will be provided to the site by
Time Warner. Based on correspondence with the cable company, empty
conduits exist along the south side of Miles Avenue and the east side of
Washington Street. The exact location of these conduits is not known.
Further discussion with the cable company will be necessary to determine
if extension of existing cable lines to serve the development is feasible.
The following diagram illustrates the phasing schedule for the proposed
development. A detailed description of each phase can be found in the
Third Amendment to the Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA).

APPROVED AS TO FORM:
M. kATHEMNE JENS , City Attorney
City of La Quinta, California
The City of La Quinta, as lead agency under the California Environmental Quality Act,
Public Resources Code section 21000, et seq. ("CEQA") has prepared this Addendum.
pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15164. This is an Addendum to the Environmental
Assessment 2001-436 that the City Council certified on February 5, 2002 for Specific
Plan No. 2001-055, in Resolution No. 2002-07.
The purpose of this Addendum is to document certain changes to the project which
will be implemented through the following land use approvals:
SPECIFIC PLAN 2001-055, AMENDMENT #2
GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT 2005-105
ZONE CHANGE 2005-125
DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT 2003-0.06, AMENDMENT #2
These are collectively referred to as "the Revised Project."
The Specific Plan project area is located at the southeastern corner of Washington
Street and Miles Avenue. The project site is bordered by the Coachella Valley Storm
Water Channel on the south, and existing single family development on the .east.
Lands across Washington Street to the west are vacant. Lands across Miles Avenue to
the north are an existing single family development.
The Revised project consists of a Specific Plan Amendment, General Plan Amendment
Change of Zone and Development Agreement Amendment to modify the land use map
and distribution of uses within the Specific Plan area. The proposed amendments
would change the designation on lands at the southwest corner of Seeley and Miles
from Low Density Residential to Tourist Commercial; and lands in the southeastern
corner of the project site from Tourist Commercial to Office. The Table below
illustrates the changes proposed:

The City has compared the impacts of the Revised Project with those impacts analyzed
-- in the Environmental Assessment 2001-436, and Addendum to EA 2001-436, adopted
in 2003, and finds as follows:
Aesthetics - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. On the north side of
the site, the expansion of the Tourist commercial area into an area previously proposed
for single family residential will result in similar impacts, insofar as smaller casitas or
cottage buildings are proposed; which will be of similar scope and scale as typical one
and two story residential structures, as has developed to the east and north of the
project. On the south side of the site, the expansion of the Office designation into the
boutique hotel site will result.in buildings of similar mass and size as those approved
on the boutique hotel site (Tourist Commercial designation).
Agriculture Resources- Not applicable
Air Quality -impacts - Impacts no greater than previously analyzed. The primary source
of air quality impacts from the site will be the automobile. Tourist Commercial trip
generation is lower than single family home trip generation, so impacts in the northern
part of the site will be reduced. Vehicle trips in the Office land use category, on the
south side of the site, are somewhat higher than those in Tourist Commercial, but any
increase would be offset by the reduction in trips on the north side of the site.
Biological Resources - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed.
Development of the site under the Revised Project will result in the same amount of
ground disturbance as originally contemplated in the Environmental Assessment.
Cultural Resources - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. Development
of the site under the Revised Project will result in the same amount of ground
disturbance as originally contemplated in the Environmental Assessment.
Geology and Soils - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The type and
mass of proposed structures on the site will not be significantly affected by the
proposed land use map amendments, and similar site preparation will be required.
Hazards and Hazardous Materials - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed.
The development of office and tourist commercial projects is not expected to generate
any more use of hazardous materials than would the approved project. Any small
quantity generators would, as with the approved project, require proper permitting and
supervision from regional, state and federal agencies, as required by law.
Hydrology and Water Quality - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The
project site is master planned to provide a centralized and coordinated storm water
system. The components of the project may change slightly, but the overall
requirements to retain the 100 year storm on site, and to protect groundwater
resources,, will still be implemented by the Public Works Department.
3
Land Use Planning - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The changes
proposed in the land use designations will not change the character or nature of the
project. The project land uses are consistent with the General Plan land use categories,
and associated goals and policies.
Mineral Resources- Not applicable
Noise - Impacts less than those previously analyzed. The change in the northern
portion of the site will remove single family homes from a location immediately
adjacent to a major arterial, which is a high noise generator. The development of
offices on the south side of the site will provide an equivalent noise buffer to that
previously contemplated for the medium density residential units in the center of the
site.
Population and Housing - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The
changes proposed in the land use plan will not significantly change the number of
residents and employees at the project site. The site is vacant, and the Revised Project
will not displace any persons or community.
Public Services - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The change in
land use designations will not change the level of service required at the site for police
and fire services. The site will still generate property and transient occupancy taxes,
which will offset the needed services.
Recreation - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The proposed
project's park areas are not being modified by the proposed land use changes. The
parks to be provided within the project will still be available for residents and visitors.
Transportation/Traffic- Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The
previously approved project generated 6,597 daily trips. The Revised Project changes
land uses from Tourist Commercial to Office in the southeastern corner of the site, and
from Low Density Residential to Tourist Commercial in the northeastern portion of the
site: Traffic patterns will be modified internally by the proposed amendment, but
should not result in any change in regional traffic flow. The expansion of the medical
office/clinic component of the project is not expected to significantly increase trips,
because of the internal association and joint trips they are expected to generate. The
residential land use designation would have generated a higher per unit trip rate than
will the expansion of the Tourist Commercial facilities. Impacts are therefore expected
to be equal to or less than those previously analyzed. it is anticipated that 12,000
square feet of the medical complex will be connecting atriums between buildings and
will not contain areas that would generate traffic.
Utilities and Service Systems - Impacts no greater than those previously analyzed. The
Revised Project will generate similar requirements for utilities, and is not expected to
require the construction of additional water, waste water or drainage facilities beyond
those planned for the project as previously approved. Waste generation from the
rd
Revised project is expected to be similar in bulk and quantity as the previously
approved project.
The City finds that consideration of the Revised Project does not call for the
preparation of a subsequent environmental review pursuant to CEQA Guideline 15162
or Public Resources Code Section 21166, in that the Revised Project does not involve:
1. Substantial changes to the project analyzed in, the Environmental
Assessment_ 2001-436 which would involve new significant effects on the
environment or substantially increase the severity of previously identified
impacts;
2. Substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the
project is being undertaken which would involve new significant effects on
the environment not analyzed in the Environmental Assessment 2001-436 or
substantially increase the severity of previously identified impacts; or
3. New information of substantial importance which would involve new
significant effects on the environment not analyzed in the Environmental
Assessment 2001-436.
