BACKGROUND: The Planning Commission reviewed the Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Mountain House New Town General Plan Amendment on December 16, 1991; the minutes for that meeting are attached. The oral comments from that meeting, plus all written comments received during the 45-day review period, have been included and responded to in the Final EIR. In addition, the text of the draft document has been amended as a result of the public review process. Final EIR' s were distributed to the Planning Commisssion, interested persons, organizations, and local agencies on March 25, 1992 . DETERMINATION OF ADEQUACY: The only determination to be made by the Commission in order to certify the EIR is whether or not it is adequate as described in Section 15151 of CEQA. This section states in part that "an EIR should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision makers with information which enables them to make a decision which intelligently takes account of environmental consequences. An evaluation of the environmental effects of a proposed project need not be exhaustive, but the sufficiency of an EIR is to be reviewed in the light of what is reasonably feasible. "
