East ftr=ntan Specific Plan cky of Pkasam- Nod- of Pnp -d- and Scopine Mecftg Planned Unit Development (PUO) rezoning (and pre -zoning) — Planning Commission and City Council Y Annexation — Planning Commission and City Council, I.AFCo Future development and land use activities that occur pursuant to the Specific Plan may require discretionary approvals such as but not limited to subdivisions, use permits, and design review, and ministerial approvals such as but not limited to demolition, grading, and building permits. The intent of the EIR will be to provide sufficient coverage for development and land use activities contemplated by the Specific Plan such that no additional or only low-level environmental review (e.g., a Negative Declaration) would be necessary. The "no project" and "no -project -no -build" alternatives will also be evaluated. 1.5 - Environmental Review 1.5.1- Potential Environmental Effects ■ Aesthetics, light, and Glare a land Use and Planning .

The topics listed above will be further analyzed In the EIR. 1.5.2 - Effects Found Not To Be Significant Based on Specific Plan characteristics, the following topical areas will be scoped out to the Effects Found Not To Be Significant section of the EIR. Agricultural and Forestland Resources The Specific Plan boundaries are mapped as containing "Other land," "Water," and "Grazing land" by the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program. In addition, no agricultural activities occur within the Specific Plan boundaries, and none of the properties are designated for agricultural use by either the General Plan or the Zoning Ordinance. These conditions preclude the possibility of impacts on agricultural resources. The Specific Plan Area contains previously mined lands, lakes, and industrial land use areas. There are no forestlands or timberlands within the Specific Plan Area. These conditions preclude the possibility of impacts on forestland resources.
