Environmental Determination
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the

I find that, although the proposed project could have a significant effect on
4W the environment, there will not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measures described on attached sheets have been added to the project. N
A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect on the environment,

Item 18. Aesthetics. Will the proposal result in the obstruction of any
scenic vista or view open to the public, or will the proposal
result in the creation of an aesthetically offensive site open to
public view?
Maybe, in case modular structures are installed without benefit
of exterior beautification elements, such as skirting of
foundations, trim of windows,painting, outside landscaping and
parking improvements on its surroundings. All of these items
would enhance the quality or appearance of the structure.
Also, modular units can be aesthetically offensive by design,
architectural articulation, materials and colors.
However, if the project is approved, then all future projects for
permanent modular units (office use purposes only) in the MR
and M2 Zone Districts will require Conditional Use Permits
and Site and Architectural Reviews. Through this process
issues such as configuration, location, architectural design,
materials, colors, fences, landscaping, parking and visual
impact to surrounding properties would be addressed and
controlled by the City Municipal Codes, Uniform Building
Code, and Federal Housing and Urban Development
regulations for manufactured housing.
