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 J or prehistory? j\ 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 1/f is significant. ) J�( d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substan- tial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? i 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. David Sawyer Planning Dir-ector Date Signatures ��-�� 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. C. No flags or pennants of any type may be utilized to draw attention to any use or structure on a permanent basis. Colored flags which contain no writ- ing, insignia or logos may be displayed 2 times per year for periods not to ex- ceed 30 days. This does not preclude the the display of national, state, or local government flags or other flags, pennants, or banners which may be erected by the City. d. The area of a wall sign or logo with individual letters shall be measured by a rectangle around the outside of the lettering and/or the pictorial symbol. e. The area of a monument-type sign shall be measured by a rectangle around the outside of individual backlit lettering or around the perimeter of a can-type sign. The first 2 feet of the supporting structure adjacent to the sign area rectangle need not be counted as contributing to the total permitted sign area. However, this shall not allow any part of a monument sign to extend above the permitted height for the district in which it is located. f. Each monument sign shall be located within a planted landscaped area which is of a shape and design that will provide a compatible setting and ground definition to the sign, incorporating the following ratio of landscape area to total sign area: Monument: Four (4) square feet of landscaped area for each square foot of sign area (one side only). Directory: Two (2) square feet of landscaped area for each square foot of sign area. g. Planning review shall be required prior to the placing, erecting, moving or reconstructing of any sign in the City, unless expressly exempted. h. The Site-and Architectural Review Board may approve a sign which does not strictly adhere to the provisions of this Chapter if it is in 'harmony with the public welfare and � i aesthetics of the surrounding neighborhood. 4.
