This checklj 3 identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project a1 provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environment Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project 1 any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the enirironment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checkc to indicate this determination. * An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of tl project may cause a &nificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negati Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deem1 insinnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings YES-sig" and "YES-insi respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form und DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussi mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. e 0 PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT YILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES YES NO big) (insig) I. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Does the project have the potential to substantially degrade the quality of the environment, substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wild- life species, cause a fish or wildlife population to drop below self-sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number or restrict the range of a rare or en- dangered plant or animal, or eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory. 14. Does the project have the potential to achieve short-term, to the dis- advantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future.) $5. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually limited but cumulatively considerable? ("Cumulatively con- siderable" means that the incremental effects of an individual project are considerable when viewed in connection with the effects of past projects, the effects of other current projects, and the effects of probable future projects.) 36.

X X X - - X - - -5- W e 3CUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION lis project is a Zone Code Amendment to Title 21, Chapter 21.18 Residential Profession (RP) of the Carlsbac unicipal Code. The (Rp) Zone allows senior citizen housing with a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) subjecl 1 certain conditioni which regulate the use. The amendment provides a revised definition of senior housins , the RP Zone to comply with the Federal Fair Housing Act. he changes are intended to comply with state and federal laws prohibiting age discrimination in housing he amendment will have no effect on the intent of the zone. No physical alteration of the environment i: sociated with this project, therefore no sigmficant physical, biological, or human environmental impacts wil dt. The development of senior citizen housing in the EW zone will require a CUP which is discretionaq Id subject to further CEQA review. When individual facilities are planned and developed, environmenta lpacts will be identified and mitigated through the environmental review associated with the CUP process .. - -6- 0 * ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT SUCH AS: a) Phased development of the project, b) alternate site designs, c) alternate scale of development, d) alternate uses for the site, e) development at some future time rather than now, f) alternate sites for the proposed project, and g) no project alternative. Issues of phasing, alternate site design and uses, scale of development, alternate sites, and development at a future time are. not applicable to this project because no physical development is proposed. The no project alternative would result in lack of compliance of the municipal code with Federal Law. -. -7- 4b IETERMINATION (To Be Completed By The Planning Department) On the basis of this initial evaluation: - I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATlVl DECLARATION will be prepared. - I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because th, environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction wit1 previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is required Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared. - I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there wi not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described on an attached sheet have been added to the project. A Conditional Negative Declaration will be proposed. - I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTA IMPACT REPORT is required. y9p 6" - De Signature 12/5/-% I W Date Planning Directs .ET MITIGATING MEASURES (IF APPLICABLE) 4TTACH MITIGATION MONITBRING PROGRAM (IF APPLICABLE) -8-
