ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environmel The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checkl identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project a: provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmen 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 environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checkt 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 simificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negati Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemc insimificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings '%S-sig" and "YES-insi; respectively. A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form undl DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussir "nitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. w m PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT WILL THE PROPOSAL DIRECTLY OR INDIRECIZY: YES (si@ 1.

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 seE-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. 34. 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.) 35. Does the project have the possible environmental effects which are in- dividually Iimited 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.

The LC Zone is intended to provide an interim zone for areas where planning for future land uses has not beer. formalized. After property planning or plan approval has been completed, property zoned LC may be rezoned. The action of the Zone Change postpones land use determinations and ultimately disturbance to the property. There will be no development associated with this project. -6- w rn ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATTVES 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. -7- . w w DETERMINATION (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 NEGAl DECLARATION will be prepared. - I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because environmental effects of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction 1 previously certified environmental documents and no additional environmental review is requi Therefore, a Notice of Determination has been prepared. - I find that although the proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, there 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. - kfind the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMEN IMPACT REPORT is required. * 4 - *\\ ,wq /hT+ 1.LL (2 Dad I u Signape I f;/7[[.&+ /- / - I//- qq I' , - i : Date b..za&g ector LIST MITIGATING MEASURES (IF APPLICABLEl ATTACH MITIGATION MONJTORING PROGRAM (IF APPLICABLE) -a- w w AppLrcANT CONCURRENCE m MITIGATING MEASURES THIS rs TO CERTIFY THAT I HAVE REVIEWED THE ABOVE MITIGATING MEASURES AND CONCUR WITH THE ADDITION OF THESE MEASURES TO THE PROJECT.
