DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATICN See Attached Sheet MITIGATION ACASURES Describe mitigation measures incl::ded 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 eva_uaticn: X I find the proposed project CC;; 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 attac::ed sheet have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DEC_ ..ON WILL BE PREPARED. I find the proposed project -'-kY Nave a significant effect effect on the environment and an EtiVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Date: 11/19/90 Signature DANIEL M. WATROUS Title: SENIOR PLANNER 2 0 0 l NEGATIVE DECLARATION ATTACHMENT Z-90-3 AND GPA -90-4 III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 8.a. Project would allow for two-family residential uses on five parcels and retail commercial uses on one parcel, whereas the current zoning only permits public or quasi - public uses. 8.b. Five parcels would be rezoned from CF to R2, with a concurrent change in general plan land use designation from Community Facilities to Medium Density Residential. The remaining parcel would be rezoned from CF to C2, and would change land use designation from Community Facilities to Central Business District. 11.&12. Five parcels would be rezoned to allow up to seven additional housing units and their residents. 13.a.&b. Minor increases in traffic and demand for parking would be generated by the ultimate buildout of the rezoned property. Existing circulation systems and the parking required by the construction will be adequate to handle the projected increases.
