CEQA Analysis
• City prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) to address the potential environmental impacts of the project.
• Most topics covered by CEQA were found to have less than significant impact or no impact. The following topics were found to have potential impacts that could be reduced to less than significant with mitigation: air quality, biological resources, cultural resources, geology and soils, hazards and hazardous materials, and tribal cultural resources. The mitigations are included in the mitigation monitoring and reporting program (MMRP) (Attachment 1).
• In support of greenhouse gas emission reductions, the project will implement an all- electric design.
• There were five public comments received on the MND including from Muwekma Ohlone Indian Tribe, Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC), City of San José Airport Department, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), and Valley Water. A response to comments was prepared and posted on the project's CEQA page. 13 13
