The Oak at Ardmore (formerly “Covelop – 2930 Union Road”)

The Project is a 154-unit residential subdivision, including ten common lots, a private clubhouse, right-of-way dedication for the Ardmore Road extension, subdivision improvements including private access roads, pedestrian walkways, drainage conveyance systems, retention basins, waste enclosures, street lighting, and utility connections. On February 20, 2024, the City adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for a commercial/industrial project (“Covelop”) consisting of 240,000 square feet of floor area spanning six buildings for this project site. As lead agency, and as part of the City’s due diligence, the City required a supplemental Noise Analysis, supplemental Arborist Report, and supplemental Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Analysis to determine if the proposed Project would result in any new or more severe significant effects not identified in the original MND. Based on these studies, and a full analysis of the scope of the Project, and the previously adopted 2024 MND, none of the criteria specified in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 requiring a subsequent or supplemental environmental document to be prepared is triggered. In particular, there have been no: (1) substantial changes in the project that will require major revisions to the previous MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effect; (2) substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the Project is undertaken that will require major revisions to the previous MND due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effect; and (3) new information of substantial importance that was not known and could not have been known at the time the previous MND was adopted that shows: (a) the Project would have significant effects not discussed in the previous MND; (b) the Project would have more severe environmental effects; or (4) mitigation measures previously found to be infeasible or new mitigation measures now exist and would be feasible and would reduce significant effects. Therefore, an addendum is the appropriate document under CEQA to analyze the consistency of the Project with the type and intensity of development previously analyzed for the site in the MND as provided for in CEQA Guidelines section 15162 and 15164. The Addendum incorporates the mitigation measures detailed in the MND. The incorporation of these measures ensures that previously adopted mitigation will be implemented for the Project and that no significant impacts will result from the Project and no new or increased significant impacts will result from the Project. No new or modified mitigation is available, and all impacts will be reduced to a less-than-significant level with the existing mitigation measures.
