(3)There are no substantial changes in the circumstances under which approval of the conveyance of the San Diego property to the County of San Diego, the county’s acquisition of the San Diego property, or approval of the demolition project will be undertaken that will require major revisions to the Judicial Council EIR due to the involvement of significant new environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects.
