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. )
d. Does the project have environmental
effects which will cause substan-
tial adverse effects on human beings,
either directly or indirectly?
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.

III. DISCUSSION OF THE
ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION
1. b, 3 b The development of this predominantly vacant site will result
in the over covering of a certain percentage of the soil. This
impact will be mitigated by utilizing proper drainage methods
which 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
predominantly vacant. This impact will be within the allowable
levels as set in the Master Environmental Analysis for the
General Plan and enforced through the City's Noise Ordinance.
8. The existing landuse will change from predominantly vacant
land to single family residential uses in accordance with the
adopted General Plan.
