1 Mitigated Negative Declaration Findings:
z 1. An Initial Study has been prepared and proper notice provided in accordance with
3 CEQA and local environmental guidelines.
4
S 2. Based upon the Initial Study and comments received, potential environmental
6 impacts due to grading, as well as impacts o? water quality, plant. life, views;
7 aesthetics and traffic, will be avoided or reduced to a level of insignificance by
s requiring the following mitigation measures as conditions of approval. There is
9 no substantial evidence that the project, as mitigated, will have a significant effect
to on the environment.
Il
12 3. A monitoring program has been included with the mitigations, where applicable,
13 to ensure compliance with the adopted mitigation measures.
14
15 4. An Initial Study has been conducted by this lead agency, which has evaluated the
16 ~ potential for this project to cause an adverse effect either individually of
17 cumulatively on wildlife resources. I=or this purpose, wildlife is defined as "all
18 wild animals, birds, plants, fish, amphibians, and related ecological communities,
19 including the habitat upon which the wildlife depends for its continued viability."
20 (Section 711.2, Fish and Game Code). The project does not have potential to
21 adversely affect wildlife resources as defined in the Fish and Game code, either
22 individually or cumulatively because the necessary improvements within Capri
23 Creek, as mitigated, will not have the potential to cause significant adverse effects
24 on lands which support fish and wildlife.
