i 4 ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST t This chapter of the Checklist includes a discussion of existing environmental conditions at the site, potential environmental impacts resulting from implementation of the proposed project, and applicable mitigation treasures, if any. The Environmental Checklist covers 1 specific issues by topic (i.e., Aesthetics, Geology, Land Use, etc.). Each topic includes the bureaucracy following four sections: (1) Setting; (2) Significant Impacts Identified in the 2005 SPIIIEIR; (3) Mitigation Measures of the 2005 SPIIIEIR Relevant to the Project; and (4)Discussion Regarding the Proposed Project. The Checklist questions are shown with a solid box denoting the potential level of impact. Under the Discussion, if new impacts are identified, they are followed by mitigation measures that are labeled and numbered. Mitigation measures that were adopted by the Mountain House Master Plan Final EIR (MEIR) and College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Final EIR (SPIIIEIR) are identified along with any additional required mitigations based on the current analysis in this Checklist. The criteria for significance are also identified, when applicable. Since this Checklist relies on the SPIIIEIR, the standard Checklist has been modified to address the consistency between the environmental evaluation prepared for Specific Plan III and the environmental evaluation for the proposed project. The six Checklist categories include: (1) Less Than Significant or No Impact,(2) Potentially Significant Impact Adequately Addressed in SPIIIEIR; (3)SPIIIEIR Requires Additional Review: No Significant Impact; (4)Less Than Significant Impact Due to Mitigation Measures in Project Description; (5)New Additional Impact Not Addressed in SPIIIEIR; and (6)New Additional Mitigation Measures Required. The "Discussion" follows the checked boxes so that the reader is informed as to why a specific box of the Checklist was marked. The discussions identify earlier analyses, the source of the information for the conclusion reached, and mitigation measures either already + required for the project or suggested as part of the current analysis to reduce impacts to a less-than-significant level. The proposed project has been analyzed under each component of the Checklist. It has been determined that the proposed project presents no substantial changes with respect to the circumstances under which the SPIIIEIR was certified. There are no impacts associated with the proposed project that were not previously assessed in the SPIIIEIR. There is no new available information, which was not known at the time the SPIIIEIR was certified, that requires major revisions of the document. Thus, no additional environmental documentation is required. 4 £_ MOUNTAIN HOUSE PROPOSED At"TAmoNT HEIGHTS TENTATIVE MAP 4-1
