WHEREAS, the City’s Director of Development Services has reviewed the Project for
compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and determined that the
Project is substantially covered in the previously certified Final Environmental Impact Report for
the University Villages EIR (FEIR 13-01) (SCH #2013071077) and that the FlatRock parcel is
substantially covered in the Otay Ranch Village 2, 3 and a Portion of 4 EIR (FEIR02-02) (SCH
#2003091012), that only minor technical changes or additions to FEIR 13-01 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 Director of Development
Services has caused the preparation of an Addendum to FEIR 13-01 (IS20-0003) for consideration;
