Environmental Impact Report

Final Environmental Impact Report

An Environmental Impact Report studies the potential physical impacts of the project and identifies mitigation measures for impacts that may be significant. The document determined that:

1. No new significant environmental impacts would result from the project or from a new mitigation measure proposed to be implemented.
2. No substantial increase in the severity of an environmental impact would result unless new mitigation measures are adopted that reduce the impact to a level of insignificance.
3. There are no new feasible alternatives or mitigation measures required to lessen significant environmental impacts of the revised project that the applicant declines to adopt.
4. There is no information supporting a conclusion that the Draft EIR would be found to be fundamentally inadequate and conclusory such that meaningful review was precluded.
