Environmental Determination: City of Hemet Community Development Department staff has determined that the entitlement applications applied for in concert with the Tres Cerritos West Specific Plan Amendment No. 4 will not have a significant effect on the environment and has recommended approval and filing of an Addendum to a previously adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the Tres Cerritos West Specific Plan Project. Pursuant to Section 15164 of the CEQA Guidelines, the City has determined that an Addendum to the previously adopted MND is appropriate because minor changes made to the project do not raise important new issues about the significant impacts on the environment, and none of the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 calling for the preparation of a subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration have occurred.
