Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environ- ment, 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 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 dis- advantage of long-term, environ- mental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which oc- curs 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 cumu- latively.considerable? (A project's impact on two or more .separate resources may be relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant. ) — — -4 d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substan- tial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? __--_� -in.1-� un»....._...�_•. /^ =Y`.�'Y.t�.!.=�•r)�,-n+n-.__'.-_�..-•.vi`.`.T=.'�i^-�" -C=-- _ /`-�_ -- _ _ - -_ — - _ ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. I find that although the proposed project could have a signi- ficant effect on -the environment, there will not be a signi- ficant effect in this case because 'the mitigation measures described on attached sheets 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 IMPACT REPORT is required.

DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 1. b, 3. b The development of this currently vacant site will result in the overcovering of a certain percentage of the soil. This impact"will be mitigated by utilizing proper drainage methods which will be reviewed and approved by the Building and Engineering Department. 6. a The existing,noise levels will increase as a result of the development of residential uses in an area that is currently vacant. This impact will be within the allowable levels as set in the Master Environmental Analysis for the General Plan. 8. The existing land use will change from vacant land to low medium density residential uses in accordance with the adopted General Plan.
