<br />Should there be a significant impact such as neighborhood traffic, an <br />environmental impact report (EIR) is done which is a comprehensive, thorough <br />analysis of all the environmental impacts that could come from the project. The <br />EIR then goes to the Planning Commission for review and certification. The EIR or <br />the negative declaration is not a project approval, but rather information that helps <br />the City decide on the project that provides information. Upon completion of the <br />environmental analysis is a plan development permit that is required for the <br />project. Both those items are typically reviewed at a public hearing before the <br />Planning Commission. A Planning Commission decision could be appealed to the <br />City Council. Any concerns expressed at the community meeting could be written <br />to the Planning Department at City Hall. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />No action required. Information Only <br /> <br />Recess: 8:35-8:50 p.m. <br /> <br />B.
