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.) Jul d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substan- tial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? 7X�- ,i �r ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINATION On the basis of this initial evaluation: 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. David Sawyer Planning Director Date .�ignatur� For .City of Grand Terrace III. DISCUSSION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION 8. In the Barton Road Specific Plan District, the proposed landuse change will eliminate one lot from the General Commercial Subarea. This change will blend the one lot in with the surrounding Zone District, Medium Density Residential, R2. This change is mitigated in the Master Environmental Analysis for GP-87-04.
