necessary the 2016 Draft IS/MND and has produced a Final IS/MND to incorporate the changes made; and

WHEREAS, specifically, (1) no new significant environmental impacts would result from the
modifications to the Master Plan or new information in the Final IS/MND; (2) no substantial increase in
the severity of environmental impacts would occur; (3) impacts identified as less than significant in the
Draft IS/MND would remain the same or be slightly reduced as a result of the revisions to the Master Plan;
and (4) revisions presented in the Final IS/MND represent new information added to clarify, amplify, or to
make insignificant modifications to the Draft IS/MND; and
WHEREAS, the Draft IS/MND included adequate information for a meaningful public review and
comment, and the Final IS/MND has not been changed in such a way that deprives the public of a
meaningful opportunity to comment upon a substantial adverse environmental effect of the Village and
Barrio Master Plan or a feasible way to mitigate or avoid a substantial environmental effect; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission did on April 18, 2018, May 2, 2018, and May 16, 2018, hold
a duly noticed public hearing as prescribed by law to consider said request; and
WHEREAS, at said public hearing, upon hearing and considering all testimony and arguments,
examining the initial study, analyzing the information submitted by staff, and considering any written
comments received, the Planning Commission considered all factors relating to the Mitigated Negative
Declaration and Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program.
