22. Mandatory Findings of Significance -
a. Does the project have the potential
to degrade the quality of the
environment, or curtail the diversity
in the environment? X
b. 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.) X
c. Does the project have impacts which
are individually limited, but
cumulatively considerable? (A
project may impact on two or more
separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small,
but where the effect of the total of
those impacts on the environment is
significant.) X
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? X

DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION (Continued)
6. Noise levels could be a potential problem. A wall or fence could be
needed to negate this problem.
- Trash receptacle will be required if registered complaints are
received. In that case, trash receptacle areas shall be enclosed by a
six foot high masonry wall with gates pursuant to City standards.
Location of said receptacle shall be approved by Planning Director.
- A fence or retaining wall will be required if registered noise
complaints are received. Construction to be approved by Planning
Director.

IV, DETERMINATION (To Be Completed by the Planning Department)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
X I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on
the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared.
I find that although the proposed project could have a significant
effect on the environment, there will 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 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. nr
