2. The City Council hereby further certifies that the significant
environmental effects of the proposed development considered in the
Addendum and the EIR have been considered and recognized by the City
Council.
3. The City Council hereby finds and determines that:
a. No substantial changes are proposed for the development
by the Hotel Agreement, or with respect to the circumstances under
which the development is to be undertaken, which will require major or
important revisions in the EIR previously certified, due to the involve-
ment of new significant environmental impacts not covered in the EIR;
b. No new information of substantial importance to the
development has become available which was not known or could not have
been known at the time the EIR was certified as complete, and which
shows that the development will have any significant effects not dis-
cussed previously in the EIR, or that any significant effects pre-
viously examined will be substantially more severe than shown in the
EIR, or that any mitigation measures or alternatives previously found
not to be feasible or not previously considered would substantially
reduce or lessen any significant effects of the development on the
environment;
C. No subsequent EIR or supplement to the EIR is necessary
or required; and
d. The development and operation of a hotel facility pur-
suant to the Hotel Agreement will have no significant effect on the
environment except as identified and considered in the EIR.

the City Council hereby approves and adopts the Addendum and the EIR of
October 4, 1982 and the Findings and Determinations and Statement of
Overriding Considerations contained in City Council Resolution No. 6605
for the hotel facility development.
