ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Environmental review for the proposed project was undertaken with the Initial Study/Negative Declaration adopted by the City Council for RZ-97-2 in conformance with the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). There are not substantial changes to the project or the circumstances under which the project is being undertaken that involve new significant environmental effects or that substantially increase the severity of previously identified effects. Furthermore, there is no new information of substantial importance which was unknown at the time the Initial Study/Negative Declaration was adopted by the City Council regarding the project or its effects, mitigation measures, or alternatives. Any previously identified effects or impacts are mitigated to a level of insignificance, with the mitigation measures incorporated into the project's design or imposed on the project pursuant to the conditions of approval. Therefore, no new environmental document accompanies this agenda report. SUMMARY/CONCLUSION Staff has reviewed the subject proposal and believes the proposed density, development standards, architecture, site design, lot configuration, and landscaping are consistent with the General Plan and Zoning programs, policies, and goals including all regulations and design guidelines. Staff also believes the architectural style and design of the new home are appropriate for the area. Therefore, the project, as conditioned, merits a favorable recommendation by the Planning Commission.
