Motion carried 4-0-1. 4. WORKSHOP: CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Workshop will include many aspects in understanding the role of CEQA on actions taken by the Planning Commission. The Workshop will cover the goals, purpose, framework, process and procedures, application process, and timeline of the CEQA. Bobak Bobak introduced Mrs. Ricia Hager to the Commission, along with Hager's experience in teaching CEQA guidelines to various agencies throughout the county. Ricia Hager, Presentation given. WSS Mason During the presentation, Mason asked Hager about Indian burial grounds and if they would qualify for exemptions and if not, how would this be addressed. Hager Hager stated that AB52's consultation with Native American tribes requirement, requires the City to consult with the appropriate tribes and if the tribes request consultation with the City regarding that project, then City would have to meet before the City can approve the project, which is more of a procedural requirement. Thompson Thompson asked Hager what would happen when a document (i.e. EIR) becomes outdated and regulations have changed. Binsack In response to Thompson's questions, Binsack stated that City staff would review the Initial study (list of impact areas) look at the existing document and review to see how relevant that document is with the action the City is going to undertake. If necessary, a supplemental or addendum may be necessary. Mason Mason commended Ricia on the presentation. She asked who would absorb the cost of updates (i.e. EIRs) when a project is submitted to the City. Binsack Per Binsack, if an EIR has been prepared, and the City is the applicant, the City would absorb the costs. If a private entity comes forward with a development project, then the developer would absorb the costs. Overall, City staff needs to ensure the CEQA procedures are done correctly for the project and for the City. Minutes—Planning Commission April 9,2019—Page 4 of 6 ' E Binsack added that whenever a staff report is presented to the Commission, staff identifies environmental analysis in compliance with the CEQA guidelines. Gallagher Gallagher referred to the EIR's that were completed for the Red Hill Specific Plan and the Downtown Commercial Core Specific!1 Plan and the formal process. He also asked Binsack if an EIR would automatically need an addendum. Binsack Binsack stated that the desire of both specific plans was to do a Program EIR. When individual development projects are submitted, staff will conduct an Initial Study and an evaluation to ensure the original EIR covered the project and if it did, then the Mitigation Measures that were identified would be included into the proposal. If not, then staff would need to evaluate and include or update that environmental document and add mitigation associated with that project's specific application. Binsack also spoke on the East Tustin Specific Plan's(aka: , Tustin Ranch) Mitigation Monitoring Report, which generally included: the Mitigation Monitoring Report Program (MMRP) took place long after the final development project took place; the City was required annually to do an analysis to ensure that those mitigations and improvements were done in a timely manner and if they were not done, the City needed to identify why they were not done, or why they were deferred; and she explained the reason for the annual MMRP for the Tustin Legacy. Hager Hager added that recently a case upheld a document that was 20 years old. Bobak Bobak also added that it would depend on how good the 20 year old document was and whether or not it analyzed all of the potential environmental impacts and they have not changed, and there are no new significant impacts that could occur from the project, then under CEQA there is no reason to do any additional environmental review because there are no additional environmental impacts. Kozak Kozak added to Binsack's comments on the MMRP that the report has to do with the progress of the measures taken for the MMRP and their implementation. Thompson Thompson complemented Hager on her presentation and he suggested Hager prepare a one page outline showing the flow of the CEQA guidelines, as a handout. STAFF CONCERNS: Binsack Binsack again informed the Commission that staff will be presenting a prototype of the new plaque to the Commission at a future date.
