<br /> <br />Soil Investigations for Data Collection in the Delta <br />Initial Study/Proposed Mitigated Negative Declaration 167 <br />3.11 Land Use and Planning <br />ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant with <br />Mitigation <br />Incorporated <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />No <br />Impact <br />a) Would the project <br />physically divide an <br />established community? <br /> <br />b) Would the project cause <br />significant environmental <br />impact due to a conflict <br />with any land use plan, <br />policy, or regulation <br />adopted for the purpose of <br />avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br /> <br />3.11.1 Environmental Setting <br />The Study Area includes portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Sacramento, San Joaquin, <br />Solano, and Yolo counties. Land use zoning codes in the Study Area allow a variety of <br />uses including agriculture, outdoor recreation, wildlife habitat, public facilities, and <br />limited areas for commercial, industrial, and rural residential development (Delta <br />Protection Commission 2010). <br />3.11.2 Discussion <br />a) Physically divide an established community? <br />No impact. The Proposed Project work would be temporary in nature and limited to <br />soil investigations which would not alter or change the existing land use and would <br />not divide an established community. Therefore, there would be no impact. <br />b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use <br />plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an <br />environmental effect? <br />No impact. Consistent with our project description, the Proposed Project work would <br />be temporary in nature and limited to soil exploration which would not alter or <br />change the existing land use and would not conflict with any land use plan, policy or <br />regulation. Therefore, there would be no impact.
