The City will send the NOP to all other applicable parties and agencies.

During the NOP circulation period, DJP&A will attend a scoping meeting for the project.

The ADEIR will include a preface/introduction, a summary, a description of the project and environmental setting, an in-depth discussion of potential significant impacts, identification of proposed and recommended mitigation measures, a discussion of cumulative impacts, project alternatives, and all other required discussions as described below. EIR Summary: A summary of the EIR will be prepared which will include a brief description of the proposed project. The summary will be prepared in tabular form and will identify the impacts of the project (including cumulative impacts) and proposed mitigation measures. The summary will also list the alternatives discussed and will address any known areas of public controversy.

Environmental Setting, Impacts and Mitigation Measures: In accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15125, the DR will clearly describe the baseline environmental setting of the project site and surrounding area based on conditions that exist at the time the NOP is released.
