DISCUSSION OF IMPACTS a) Physically divide an established community?

No impact would occur. b) Cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect? No Impact The project would not conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of mitigating an environmental effect. The project would not conflict with any zoning acceptable uses or require a zoning or general plan amendment. No impact would occur.
