Any and all environmental review for the underlying project was completed by the previously adopted Environmental Impact Report (State Clearinghouse No. 2016021099) approved on November 13, 2018 which has adequately identified the impacts associated with the project. Thus, no further review is required pursuant to Section 15162 and 15183 of the California Environmental Quality Act and Section 8.10 of the 2019 Local Guidelines for Implementing CEQA, and staff is directed to file a Notice of Exemption; and, 2. Approve the "Affordable Housing Density Bonus Agreement and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions," which will impose affordability requirements on four (4) of the forty eight (48) total units in the project. 3. Approve a Subordination Agreement, which provides that the Affordable Housing Density Bonus Agreement and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions & Restrictions will have priority over an existing construction loan for the project.
