the Redevelopment Plan for the River Valley Redevelopment Project (the "Redevelopment Plan");
and
WHEREAS, the Redevelopment Plan was amended by the City Council by Ordinance No.

within the Redevelopment Plan, and by Ordinance No. 5467, duly adopted and approved on
December 13, 1994, which revised certain time limitations within the Redevelopment Plan in order
to comply with certain amendments to the Community Redevelopment Law, California Health and
Safety Code sections 33000 et seq. (the "Community Redevelopment Law"); and
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Redevelopment Agency (the "Agency") is considering the
adoption of a proposed amendment ("Amendment No. 3") to the Redevelopment Plan and has
prepared a proposed Amendment No. 3 therefore; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the proposed Amendment No. 3 is to revise certain portions of
the Redevelopment Plan to ensure that the provisions of the Redevelopment Plan comply with the
City's General Plan as required by Section 33331 of the Community Redevelopment Law; and
WHEREAS, Section 21166 of CEQA provides that, where an environmental impact report
has been prepared for a project, as was the case with the adoption of the original Redevelopment
Plan, no subsequent or supplemental environmental impact report is required unless major revisions
of the original EIR are required because substantial changes are proposed in the project; substantial
changes occur in the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken; or new information,
not known at the time of the original EIR certification, becomes available; and
WHEREAS, Section 15061 of the Guidelines for CEQA, Title t4, California Code of
Regulations, Sections 15000, et seq. (the "CEQA Guidelines"), provides that after a preliminary
review a public agency may determine that a project is exempt from the provisions of CEQA if the
project has no potential for causing a significant effect on the environment; and that, after
determining that a project is exempt, the agency may prepare a notice of exemption which may be
filed with the county clerk after the project is approved; and
WHEREAS, a Preliminary Review of Environmental Impacts was prepared in connection
with Amendment No. 3 pursuant to which it was determined that Amendment No. 3 has no potential
for causing a significant effect on the environment; and
