PUD-134 Hopyard Road Shell/7-Eleven Redevelopment Initial Study and Negative Declaration 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2. 1 INTRODUCTION This Initial Study (IS) and Negative Declaration (ND) provide the environmental analysis required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for land use entitlements PUD-134/P18-0334 (PUD Rezoning and Development Plan) and P18- 0332 (Conditional Use Permit) for demolition of an existing 7-Eleven convenience store, auto service/smog check building and Shell fuel station canopy; and construction and operation of a new 7-Eleven convenience store, drive-through car wash, Shell fuel station canopy, and related site improvements on a 0. 91 acre site at 3760 and 3790 Hopyard Road, for Anabi Real Estate Development LLC. The project site is located on two adjoining parcels under the same ownership. If the project is approved, the property owners will file a Lot Line Adjustment application to merge the two parcels so that the project would occupy one single parcel. Hereafter, the two parcels will be referred to as the "project site." This IS/ND consists of an environmental checklist, a brief explanation of topics addressed in the checklist, and a determination that an EIR is not required. 2. 2 ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15070, the City conducted an Initial Study which shows that there is no substantial evidence, in light of the whole record, that the proposed development may have a significant effect on the environment. 2. 3 PROJECT LOCATION/SUBJECT PROPERTY The proposed project is located on an approximately 0. 91-acre site known as 3760 and 3790 Hopyard Road at the southwest corner of Hopyard Road and W.
