EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS: 1) A brief explaration is required for all answers except"No Impact"answe-s that are adequately supported by the information sources a lead agency cites in the parentheses fallowing each question. A "No Impact- answer is adequately supported if the referenced information sources show that the impact simply does not apply to projects like the one involved;e.a,the project falls outside a Paul;ruptu-e zone).A"No Impact"answer should be explained where it is based on project-specific factors as well as general standards(e.g.,the project will not expose sensitive receptors to pollutants,based on a project-specific screening analysis). 2) All answers must take accourt of the whole action involved including off-site as well as on-site,cumulative as well as project-level,indirect as well as di-ect,and construction as well as operational impacts. 3) Once the lead agency has determined that a particular physical impact may occur,then the checklist answers must indicate whether the impact is potentially significant, less than significant with mitigation,or less than significant "Potertially Signf cant Impact"is appropriate if there is substantial evidence that an effect may be significant. If there are one or more"Poten,;ally Significant Impact"erthes when the determination is made,an EIR is required 4) "Negative Declaration: Less Than Significant With Mitigation Incorporated" app'ies where the incorporation of mitigation measures has reduced an effect from"Potentially Significant Impact"to a"Less Than Significant Impact" The lead agency must describe the mitigation measures, and briefly explain how they reduce the effec:to a less than significant evel (mitigation measures from "Earlier Analyses," as described in (5) below, may be cross- referencec). 5) Earlier analyses may oe used where,pursuant to the tiering, program EIR or other CEC.A process, an effect has been adequa.ely analyzed in an earlier EIR or negative declaration. Section 15063(c)(3)(D). In this case, a brief discussion should identify the following. a) Earlier Analysis Used.Identify and state where they are available for review. b) Impacts Adequately Addressed. Identify which effects from the above checklist were within the scope of and adequately analyzed in an earlier document pursuant to applicable legal standards,and state whether such effects v✓ere addressed by mitigation measures based on the earlier analysis c) Mtigation Measures. For effects that are"Less than Signif cant with Mitigation Measures Incorporated" describe the mitigation measures which were incorporated or refined from the earlier document and the extent to which they adcress site-specific conditions for the project. 6) Lead agencies are encouraced to incorporate into the checklist references to information sources fo• potential impacts(e.g.,gereral plans,zoring ordinances), Reference to a previously prepared or outside document should, where appropriate..include a reference to the page or pages where the statements substantiated. 7) Supporting Information Sources:A source list should be attached,and other sources used or individuals contacted should be cited in the discussion. 8) This;s only a suggested form,and lead agencies are free to use oFferent formats;hcwevef,lead agencies should normally address the questions from this checklist that are relevant to a project's environmental effects in whatever forma-.is selected. 9) The explanation of each issue should identify: a) the significance criteria or threshold,if any,used to evaluate each question;and b) the mitigatio'i measure identified,if ary,to reduce the impact to less than significance. 4 Planning Commission Staff Report, Item # 1 02/06/2020 — PA-1800316 (UP) 7 Environmental Review
