The revisions that have been incorporated in the Amended 6' Cycle 2021-2029 Housing Element are minor in nature and would not change any existing land use designations or zoning, nor would the amended Housing Element present a new use or intensify a use that was considered under the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan EIR. Therefore, the Amended Housing Element would not result in new or substantially more severe environmental impacts as compared to the Addendum to the 2035 General Plan and Climate Action Plan. Therefore, no further CEQA analysis is required. Ucaaeso\8392 Housing Element Update.doc SECTION 2. DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY.
