The developer has requested that the final map be approved for recordation. The final map, is attached to this report.
ENVIRONMENTAL
An initial study was prepared for the project after all discretionary applications were deemed complete. The Initial Study indicated a Mitigated Negative Declaration would be the appropriate environmental document for the project. The Mitigated Negative Declaration incorporates mitigation measures for Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Transportation and Traffic, and Tribal Cultural Resources, which result in a less than significan t impact on these subject areas. Staff prepared a Notice of Availability for this, which indicated a public comment period beginning on June 3, 2024, and ending on July 3, 2024.
The consulting firm, MNS Engineering, prepared the draft environmental documents and submitted the documents to the City for review to ensure they reflect the independent judgment and analysis of the City , as the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) lead agency.
