the processing of the project. The communications are organized according to the time received by staff beginning with the most recent. As of the writing of this staff report, staff received an additional email from Matt Lawer listing his objections to the proposed project, and from Larry and Helen Dillion stating their support of the proposed project. Staff has not received any addi- tional verbal or written comments pertaining to this proposal. VIII. FISCAL IMPACT The project developer will reconstruct Cameron Avenue with a curvilinear alignment as a traffic calming measure and with a public sidewalk along its north side benefiting the project and the surrounding neighborhoods. The project developer will be required to pay all City development fees including school impact fees. The homes covered by this application would pay property taxes that would go to offset their impact to City services including police, fire, support staff, etc. IX. ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT Environmental review for the proposed project is covered by an Initial Study/Negative Declara- tion, which is attached. An attached letter from the State Clearinghouse, Office of Planning Re- search, indicates that the environmental review period for this application was successfully completed. Staff believes that the project-related impacts are mitigated, with the mitigation measures incorporated in the project's design or referenced with conditions of approval, and that there would be no significant or unmitigated environmental impact. Staff, therefore, believes that the Negative Declaration can be issued in conformance with the standards of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). If the City Council concurs with this environmental as- sessment, it must adopt the Negative Declaration prior to approving the proposed project. X. CONCLUSION Staff believes that the proposed project is designed in a manner that is compatible with and sen- sitive to the restrictions posed by the site and by surrounding properties. The proposed homes are attractively designed and will be constructed on large lots reflecting the surrounding devel- opment pattern. The proposal will reconstruct Cameron A venue with a curvilinear alignment for traffic calming; it will implement Green Building Measures; and it will include bio-retention swales to treat its stormwater runoff. The Planning Commission carefully considered the project at two public workshops and a public hearing, and recommended approval of the project. Staff also supports the project as revised and conditioned. XI.
