That the Development Services Director has reviewed the proposed project for compliance

covered in the previously adopted Final Environmental Impact Report for the Otay Ranch Freeway
Commercial Sectional Planning Area (SPA) Plan – Planning Area 12 (FEIR-02-04)
(SCH#1989010154). The Development Services Director has determined that only minor technical
changes or additions to this document are necessary and that none of the conditions described in
Section 15162 of the State CEQA Guidelines calling for the preparation of a subsequent document
have occurred; therefore, the Development Services Director has caused the preparation of a Third
Addendum to FEIR-02-04.
The City Council of the City of Chula Vista finds that, in the exercise of their independent
review and judgment, as set forth in the record of its proceedings, the Third Addendum to FEIR-02-
04 in the form presented, has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the California
Environmental Quality Act and the Environmental Review Procedures of the City of Chula Vista and
has considered the Addendum to FEIR-02-04.
