City Manager's Recommendation
It appears any environmental impact due to this development has already
occurred and further development would have a favorable result due to
landscaping and park development. Approval of the final E.I.R. is
recommended. Comments in the E.I.R. directed to adjacent properties
should be considered at such time as E.I.R.'s on those properties are
heard.
