ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS STATE CEQA GUIDELINES, Chapter 3, Article 5, section 15063 requires that the City conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment to determine if a project may have a significant effect on the environment. The Environmental Impact Assessment appears in the following pages in the form of a checklist. This checklist identifies any physical, biological and human factors that might be impacted by the proposed project and provides the City with information to use as the basis for deciding whether to prepare an Environmental Impact Report or Negative Declaration. * A Negative Declaration may be prepared if the City perceives no substantial evidence that the project or any of its aspects may cause a significant effect on the environment. On the checklist, "NO" will be checked to indicate this determination. An EIR must be prepared if the City determines that there is substantial evidence that any aspect of the project may cause a sirmificant effect on the environment. The project may qualify for a Negative Declaration however, if adverse impacts are mitigated so that environmental effects can be deemed insinnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings YES-sig" and YES-hsig" respectively. * A discussion of potential impacts and the proposed mitigation measures appears at the end of the form under DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION. Particular attention should be given to discussing mitigation for impacts which would otherwise be determined significant. ? 4 PHYSICAL m0NMENT WILL THE PROPOSAL DtRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY: YES big) 1. 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. 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.) 3s. 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. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? YES YES big) (insig) NO X - X X - X - ' DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION The project is the acquisition of property for the purpose of developing a municipal golf course. It can be assumed that development of the property may have some level of impacts to the physical, biological, or human environment. However, until a plan is developed the specifics and level of significance of those potential impacts are unknown. Acquisition of the property will not have any significant effects to the environment. Preliminary biological impact studies have been completed and have identified potential impacts which will require environmental analysis subsequent to this Negative Declaration should the City acquire the property and move forward with plan design and the pursuit of pennits for the municipal golf course. A summary of biological issues follows: There is a presence of California gnatcatcher and riparian woodland which is wetland habitat. The riparian woodland could potentially be breeding habitat for the least Bell's vireo. A Section 7 consultation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service will be required to address potential impacts to the gnatcatcher and the wetland habitat. There may be increased noise, light, sedimentation, litter accumulation and human encroachment into biologically sensitive areas. -6- DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. 1 find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, because the environmental effetts of the proposed project have already been considered in conjunction with 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 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 sigdicant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
