While the dwelling units are slightly higher in the 1994 Master EIR than that proposed specifically for Neighborhood F, the project is completely within the density limitations, location, and land uses evaluated in the 1994 Master EIR and the changes are not deemed significant. Off-site improvements associated with the Neighborhood F Project have been evaluated in separate CEQA documents as discussed further in Chapter II of the Initial Study for the Neighborhood F Project. II.B. Finding: San Joaquin County is the lead agency for the Neighborhood F Project, has prepared an Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration and finds that no additional significant environmental effects will result from the approval of Neighborhood F Project. CEQA Requirements: CEQA Guidelines Section 15177 (b) states that "Except as provided in subsection (2) of this subdivision, neither a new environmental document nor the preparation of findings pursuant to section 15091 shall be required of a subsequent project when all the following requirements are met: (1) The lead agency for the subsequent project is the lead agency or any responsible agency identified in the Master EIR. (2) The lead agency for the subsequent project prepares an initial study on the proposal. The initial study shall analyze whether the subsequent project was described in the Master EIR and whether the subsequent project may cause any additional significant effect on the environment which was not previously examined in the Master EIR. (3) The lead agency for the subsequent project determines, on the basis of written findings, that no additional significant environmental effect will result from the proposal, no new additional mitigation measures or alternatives may be required, and that the project is within the scope of the Master EIR. "Additional significant environmental effect"means any project-specific effect which was not addressed as a significant effect in the Master EIR. Statement of Fact: San Joaquin County was the lead agency for the 1994 Master EIR and is also the lead agency for the current Initial Study and review of the subsequent project,the proposed Neighborhood F Project. San Joaquin County has prepared an Initial Study for the project. This document addresses the relationship of the current project to that addressed in the 1994 Master EIR (see discussion under [a] above). Because more specific information is available for the Neighborhood F Project,the Initial Study does include more detailed mitigation measures than those identified for the 1994 Master EIR. This is to be expected because of the level of specificity of the requested land use approvals. However,this more detailed 7
