t � Item No. 2 PC: 10-22-92 ZR-92-13 Page 4 The EIR, however, identified fire environmental impacts which cannot be mitigated to a less than significant level. These impacts are: 1. The conversion and consequent loss of 124.74 acres of agricultural grazing land to urban uses. 2 The loss of oak trees and oak woodland habitat 3. The disruption of the Swainson's hawknesting and breeding habitat may discourage the site's pair of hawks from returning to the nest. 4. The project would exceed threshold limits for carbon monoxide, ozone, and PM-10 and would contribute to Countywide and regional air quality problems. S. The cumulative impacts to State Route 88/12 due to increased vehicular traffic. The first is no longer considered a significant, adverse impact due to the Board of Supervisor's approval of the earlier General Plan Map Amendment application (GP-90-5) for the site and its designation of the site on the 2010 General Plan Map as R/L (Low Density Residential). The California Department of Fish and Game has indicated that implementation by the developer of the mitigation measures identified in the Final EIR will be required in order for the proposed subdivision to proceed. In order for the proposed project to be approved, Findings of Significant Environmental Impacts and a Statement of Overriding Considerations need to be included in the approval action for the four remaining impacts. Proposed Findings and a Statement have been included with this this staff report as Attachments A and S. The Initial Study that was prepared for this Zone Reclassification application stated that the Final EIR for the project would be recirculated in order to satisfy the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act. Any comments received regarding the adequacy of the EIR for the project would have been included in the environmental document that would have been submitted to the review authority, along with staff's responses to the comments. No comments were received from responsible agencies regarding the adequacy of the environmental document. There are, therefore, no changes or additions to the Final EIR that was previously certified by the Board of Supervisors at the time the General Plan Map Amendment and Zone Reclassification were approved.
