DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION Project would create a definition for churches in the Azusa Municipal Code. The definition would include accessory uses, such as gathering halls, classrooms and one residence to be occupied by an employee of the church. This project could allow some existing residences to remain in nonresidential zones. IV. 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 Lead Agency) On the basis of this initial evaluaticn: X I find the proposed project COULD NOT HAVE a significant effect on the environment, and'a NEGATIVE DECARATION 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 effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.
