As such, the Prior EIR included MM <br />4.C-2 which requires identification of a development setback in applicable riparian areas to protect <br />waterways, their associated riparian habitat, and any potential special species habitat from impacts. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />The proposed project would not result in new or more severe impacts than identified in the Prior <br />EIR. The proposed project site does not contain any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural <br />community. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project <br />or the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Because there would be no impacts, <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />c) Adverse Effect on State or Federally Protected Wetlands <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />This topic is discussed under Impact 4.C-2 of the Prior EIR, which concluded that no formal wetland <br />delineation had been carried out in support of the proposed Housing Element since there are no <br />wetlands or other waters present on any of the potential sites for rezoning. The Prior EIR found that <br />there was no documentation of seasonal wetlands at any of the undeveloped sites (Sites 6, 7, 8, 18, <br />19, and 20). Additionally, there was no evidence of wetlands observed during site surveys conducted <br />by an Environmental Science Associates (ESA) Biologist in July 2011 or through a review of current or <br />historical aerials. <br />The Prior EIR concluded that there may be wetlands present within the historical channel of <br />Sycamore Creek on the northern boundary of Site 20. However, it was determined that direct <br />impacts to any wetlands within the Sycamore Creek channel and the Arroyo del Valle riparian <br />corridor would be avoided through the implementation of the riparian setbacks specified in MM 4.C- <br />2. Therefore, the Prior EIR concluded that there would be no adverse impacts on State or federally <br />protected wetlands as a result of the development of the Housing Element. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />The proposed project site is already developed and does not contain State or federally protected <br />wetlands or other waters. It would not result in new or more severe impacts than identified in the <br />Prior EIR. Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or <br />the parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Because there would be no impacts, <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />d) Movement of Resident or Migratory Fish <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR found that the proposed project is not anticipated to substantially modify established <br />migration or dispersal corridors. However, because some projects would be located near arroyos,
