21. Mandatory Findings of Significance
a. Does the project have the potential to
degrade the quality of the environment,
substantially reduce the habitat of a
fish or wildlife 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 endangered plant or animal
or eliminate important examples of the
major, periods of California history or
prehistory?
X
•
b. Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term, to the disadvantage
of long-term, environmental goals? (A
snort-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.) _-
_Y
•
•
•
YES MAYBE NO
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 directly
or indirectly? X-
III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
7). New light from signs and parking lot will be a result of proposed commercial
development, but will not affect any surrounding residential areas.
8a). Currently vacant site is proposed for development as a small commercial
shopping center.
8b). Zone Change Case No. Z-247 is to make this commercial center compatible
with zoning and land use controls.
13a).The Shopping Center will add 16,890 square feet of commercial existing
circulation system can adequately handle.
13b).The Shopping Center will create a need for 78 new parking spaces which
will be provided on site.
IV. MITIGATION MEASURES
Describe mitigation measures included in the project, if
any are needed, to avoid potentially significant effects:
None Required
V. DETERMINATION
(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
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
has been prepared and is attached.
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 NEGATIVE OECLARATIUN WILL
BE PREPARED.
• I find the proposed project MAY have a significant
effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT is required.
