(TO BE COMPLETED BY HE 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 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 will be prepared. I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONNENTAI. BEACT REPORT is required.
