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?
b. Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term, to the disadvantage
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.)

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.) -- %
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substantial
adverse effects on human beings directly
:or indirectly? R
DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
8.b. Property is currently zoned CBD_(Central Business District) and is
developed with a single -family -residence. Proposed zone change to P
(Residential and Off -Street Parking) would bring property into conformance
with zoning.
MITIGATION MEASURES
Describe mitigation measures included in the project, if
any are needed, to avoid potentially significant effects:
None required.
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 DECLARATION WILL
BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant
effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL I1IPACT
REPORT is required.
