On August 28, 2024, the Orange County Planning Commission held a public hearing, considered proposed General Plan Amendment T24-01 - Transportation Element and voted to adopt Planning Commission Resolution No. 2024-02, which recommended the Board of Supervisors make the appropriate findings under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adopt the proposed General Plan Amendment GPA T24-01 - Transportation Element. 

Final EIR (FEIR) No. 589, previously certified by the Board of Supervisors on November 8, 2004, regarding the Ranch Plan Planned Community, together with Addendum 1.0 to FEIR 589, approved July 2006, Addendum 1.1 approved February 24, 2011, Planning Area 2 Addendum approved March 25, 2013, and Addendum 3.1 to FEIR 589, approved February 25, 2015, reflect the independent judgment of the County of Orange and satisfy the requirements of CEQA.  Collectively, these previously approved CEQA documents adequately address the effects of the proposed project, no subsequent changes have been made to the project, no substantial changes have occurred in the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken, and no new information of substantial importance to the project has become known which was not known or could not have been known at the time each of these prior CEQA documents was approved. Therefore, no further environmental review is required.
