PURPOSE OF,,INITIAL STUDY <br /> This Initial Study is intended to determine whether the proposed project is within <br /> the scope of the MEIR completed for the Mountain House New Community <br /> Master Plan and Specific Plan I (SPI) in 1994. A project will be considered within <br /> the scope of the MEIR if it is described in that document and would 1)have no <br /> additional significant effect not previously examined in the MEIR, and 2) require <br /> new or additional mitigation measures or alternatives. The Environmental <br /> Checklist questions in Chapter 5 are used to answer these questions. If the two <br /> conditions described above are satisfied, no further environmental document is <br /> required for the project. If one of them is not satisfied,the County would <br /> determine that an EIR or a Mitigated Negative Declaration should be prepared <br /> for the project. The conclusions are addressed below. <br /> 7. SCOPE AND CONTENT OF THE INITIAL STUDY <br /> This Initial Study contains the following chapters: <br /> ■ Chapter 1.
