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 siqnificant 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
insicfnificant. These findings are shown in the checklist under the headings
"YES-sig" and "YES-insig" 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.

MANDATORY FINDINGS OF SIGNIFICANCE
YES YES NO
(sig) (insig)
33. 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. X_
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.) X_
35. 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.) X_
36. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly? X_

DI-SCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
This is the site of the abandoned Triangle Transfer and Storage Company.
The existing architecture is an industrial split face block and corrugated
metal design. Proposed store front facade improvements include awnings,
six inch stucco pop-outs, pre-fab columns, and a canopied architectural
treatment over the driveway. Stamped concrete is proposed in three separate
areas of the drive for relief and aesthetic enhancement. A new six foot
high wood fence, new planters new curb, new walks, and a new trash enclosure
are also planned in the rear parking area.
The requested use of an arts and antiques warehouse is in harmony with the
existing commercial/light industrial uses along State Street. The existing
abandoned, dilapidated warehouse is a depressing and blighting influence on
the redevelopment area. The applicant is demolishing 1895 square feet of
building to accommodate the use and its required parking. The parking area
will be landscaped and fenced, and facade improvements will be provided and
maintained. There is no adverse impact projected from the daily trips
generated by this project upon the street system serving the use as they are
within the design standards for the system and meet the performance standard
for the Growth Management Program.

ANALYSIS OF VIABLE ALTERNATIVES 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) alter-
nate sites for the proposed, and g) no project alternative.
A. Phased development of the project is financially infeasible. The
project is demolition of an existing building to allow additional
parking. Without demo parking standard is met.
B. Alternate site desing would increase physical impact of
demolition. Less demo would not allow parking standard to be met.
C. Alternate scale of development would appear infeasible as the
building already exists.
D. The only alternate use that could be supported for the site would
be office. However, the existing site does not have the required
parking for such a sue. The existing building is a dilpaidated,
abandoned warehouse which would requrie extensive renovation for
such use.
E. Development at some future time condemns this site to remian in
a blighted, dilapidated condition.
F. Alternate sites for the proposed presupposes other suitable vacant
buildings or a major construction project.
G. The no project alternative condemns the property to remain in a
blighted, dilapidated condition.

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.
