The proposed Land Use Map would accommodate approximately 762 new residential units and a reduction of approximately 129,682 square feet of non-residential uses under General Plan buildout conditions.  The new residential new growth would result in a population increase of approximately 1,829 persons.

POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS: An EIR will be prepared to address potential environmental impacts associated with the implementation of the proposed project. Potential key environmental considerations to be addressed in the EIR include: Aesthetics, Air Quality, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology/Soils/Paleontological Resources, Greenhouse Gas Emissions/Energy, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, Hydrology/Water Quality, Land Use/Planning, Noise, Public Services, Recreation, Transportation, Tribal Cultural Resources, Utilities/Service Systems, and Wildfire. The Draft EIR will include a discussion of reasonable alternatives to the proposed project pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6. The Draft EIR will also include an analysis of cumulative effects, as well as other required CEQA sections.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that this Notice of Preparation (NOP) has been prepared in accordance with Section 15082 of the State CEQA Guidelines and will be circulated for a 42-day review period during which your comments and suggestions regarding the scope of the Draft EIR are welcomed.
