ADOPTING AN AMENDMENT TO THE HOUSING ELEMENT OF THE CITY

WHEREAS,in accordance with Government Code section 65353,the Planning Commission
of the City of Redlands has reviewed a proposed amendment to the Housing Element of the City of
Redlands' General Plan(General Plan Amendment No.2010-1-A)and,after notice and the holding
of a public hearing thereon,made a written recommendation for adoption of such amendment to the
City Council of the City of Redlands("this City Council"); and
WHEREAS, on April 6, 2010,this City Council held a duly noticed public hearing on the
proposed Housing Element amendment,at which time this City Council provided the City staff and
the public with the opportunity to present verbal and written testimony; and
WHEREAS,following the public hearing on the proposed.Housing Element amendment,this
City Council determined that adoption of the proposed amendment was in the best interests ofpublic
health, safety and general welfare; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"), a negative
declaration was previously adopted by this City Council on October 21,2008 in connection with the
City Council's adoption of the 2008 Housing Element Update; and
WHEREAS,this proposed amendment to the adopted 2008 Housing Element which is being
considered by the City Council does not effect any significant, substantive changes to the General
Plan Housing Element,but rather simply expands and clarifies information and policies contained in
the Housing Element in response to comments from the State Department of Housing and
Community Development during its review process ofthe City's 2008 Housing Element Update;and
WHEREAS,the adoption of this Resolution and the proposed Housing Element amendment
to the Redlands General Plan is exempt from further review under CEQA pursuant to Section 15162
of the State's CEQA Guidelines, based upon the City Council's determination that a subsequent
negative declaration is not warranted for the proposed amendment for the following reasons:
A. The proposed Housing Element amendment would not require major revisions of the
previous negative declaration adopted for the 2008 Housing Element Update due to
the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in
the severity of previously identified effects;
S. No substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which
the proposed Housing Element amendment will be implemented such that major
revisions of the previous negative declaration adopted for the 2008 Housing Element
-I-
Update are required due to the involvement of new significant effects or a substantial
increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects; and,
C. There is no new information of substantial importance with respect to the proposed
Housing Element amendment's environmental consequences that was not known at
the time the previous negative declaration was adopted for the General Plan 2008
Housing Element Update which would show that implementation of the proposed
Housing Element amendment will have a significant effect not previously discussed
in the prior negative declaration, will result in more severe significant effects, or
which would require new or modified mitigation measures.
Section 2. The General Plan Housing Element(Amendment No.2010-1-A),in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit"A," is hereby adopted.
ADOPTED, SIGNED AND APPROVED this 6th-delay of April, 2010.
