PUBLIC NOTICE Notices for this hearing were sent to surrounding property owners and tenants within a 1,000-foot radius of the site. Staff has provided the location and noticing maps as Exhibit G for reference. The public notice was also published in The Valley Times. Staff received an email from Steve McGinnis, resident on Sycamore Creek Way, who expressed support of the proposal. Staff will continue to forward public comments, when received, to the Commission. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT A draft Initial Study/Negative Declaration (IS/ND) has been prepared for the proposed project, reflecting the number and configuration of lots proposed by the applicant. The draft IS/ND was circulated for public comments between December 18, 2019, and January 10, 2020. Zone 7 provided comments to ensure groundwater quality is maintained and noted that a permit must be obtained from Zone 7 if the existing well is to be abandoned. The existing well will not be abandoned but use for irrigation purposes. Based on the draft IS, staff believes that the project would not have any significant environmental impacts. Staff, therefore, believes that the Initial Study/Negative Declaration can be adopted in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If the Planning Commission concurs with this environmental assessment, it must make the finding that the IS/ND adequately evaluates the potential environmental impacts of the project prior to taking action on the project. CONCLUSION At the meeting of January 22, 2020, the Planning Commission indicated its support of the proposed five-lot residential development and requested additional information be provided and reviewed prior to rendering a recommendation to the City Council. Based on the Planning Commission's direction, the draft resolution (Exhibit A) reflects a recommendation for approval and conditions of approval of the project to the City Council.
