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? - - - - - -- x 0 0 GTYOF�� ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS r_ LPAZusAQ EXPLANATIONS/MITIGATION DISCUSSION III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION See Attached Sheet 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 evaluation: 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 haves, significant effect effect on the environment and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required. Date: April 7, 1992 Signature: f,ypL A ! ATRO Title: SENIOR PLANNER 0 0 ATTACHMENT TO NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR ZONE CHANGE NO. Z-92-2, GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT NO. GPA -92-1 PLAN OF DESIGN NO. P-92-40 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS EXPLANATIONS/MITIGATION DISCUSSION III. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 6.b. Temporary continued use of some industrial buildings while office building is used for classroom and university offices could expose students, faculty and university employees to some industrial noise. The location of the classroom/office building away from these uses and existing sound buffers should reduce the noise to insignificant levels. 8.a. Project would involve a change in long-term use of the property from industrial purposes to use as a university campus annex. 8.b. Project involves a zone change from M1 (Light Manufacturing) to SP -2 (Specific Plan) and an amendment to the land use designation from Planned Industrial Development to Specific Plan. Possible incompatibility with parking requirements do not exist at this time, but will be reviewed at a future date for compliance prior to occupancy of manufacturing buildings by the university. 13.a.&b. Change in use of front building from offices to classrooms and offices could alter the traffic generation and parking demand for the property. Existing circulation system and onsite parking appear to be adequate to handle any projected increase. Reference is also hereby made to all other Environmental Impact " Reports which have been prepared for -projects within -the City of Azusa for additional information and knowledge of existing and future environmental conditions in the area. r.^GTT Q► � R oNOTICE OF DETERMINATION �AiusA�� r TO: COUNTY CLERK FROM: CITY OF AZUSA CORPORATIONS DIVISION -- Room 106 213 E.
