Mandatory Findings of Significance (Section 15065) The California Environmental Quality Act states that if any of the following can be answered yes or maybe, the project may have a significant effect on the environment and an Environmental Impact Report shall be prepared. a. Does the project have the potential to degrade the quality of the environment, 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 REVISED 10/87 PAGE 6 OF8 Yes No Maybe important examples of the major periods of California history or prehistory? x b. Does the project have the potential to achieve short term, to the disadvantage of long-term, environmental goals? (A short-term impact on the environment is one which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive period of time while long-term impacts will endure well into the future. ) x c. Does the project have impacts which are individually limited, but cumulatively considerable? (A project may jrnpact on two or more separate resources where the impact on each resource is relatively small, but where the effect of the total of those impacts on the environment is significant.) x d. Does the project have environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings, either directly or indirectly? x C. DISCUSSION OF ENVIRONMENTAL EVALUATION AND MITIGATION MEASURES (Attach sheets as necessary.) See Attached REVISED 10/87 PAGE 7 OF 8 D. DETERMINA~JON On the basis of this initial study, ~ The proposed project COULD NOT have a significant effect on the environment and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. The proposed project could have a significant effect on the environment, although there will not be a significant effect in this case because the mitigation measures described above have been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. The proposed project ~~Y have a significant effect on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT is required.

Will the proposal impact any public -agency beyond its. ability to provide adequate levels of service? This item was checked "maybe" because vacating a public alley, which must be left accessible to pedestrian and vehicular traffic in order to provide utility easements, might result in the accumulation of litter, trash, debris, and abandoned vehicles in the area of the vacated alley, thereby increasing the workload of the City Code Enforcement Officers. This potential impact is not regarded as signi- ficant for two reasons: The vacation of the alley is not expected to add significantly to Code Enforcement problems that already exit in the area, and the City has recently expanded its Code Enforcement staff and should be able to give adequate attention to any additional Code violations 11a. Will the proposal impact gas, electrical, water, and sewer utilities and drainage facilities beyond their capability to provide adequate levels of service? These items were checked "maybe" because the alley to be vacated currently provides access for the aforementioned utilities which would be eliminated if the alley were vacated and blocked to vehicular access. This potential impact will be addressed by leaving the alley physically accessible and maintaining an access easement for City and Public utilities. 12b & c. Will visual and other impacts of the project be detrimental to the surrounding area? These items were checked "maybe" because the proposed alley vacati on might result in the accumulation of trash, litter and the growth of weeds in the area to be vacated. This potential impact will be addressed by City Code Enforcement Officers. I SPW8828P4 ... I
