substantially reduce the habitat of a fish or wildlife species, cause a
fish or wildlife population to drop below self- sustaining levels,
threaten to eliminate a plant or animal community, reduce the number
or' restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant or animal or
eliminate important examples of the major periods of California history
or. prehistory.
b. The project, as conditionally approved, does not have the potential to
achieve short -term, to the disadvantage of long -term, environmental
goals.
C. Because the proposal does not include additional phased development,
th'e project as conditionally approved does not have impacts which are
individually limited., but cumulatively considerable.
d. The project, as conditionally approved, does not have environmental
effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings
either directly or indirectly.
