METROPOLITAN PLANNING GROUP lWei ..... ~/ ,;~ 4!~;.'..:. ~;:,H _ )~C ~~;i;;:~ .-.- a new design on urban planning GROUP The Negative Declaration circulated for public review shall include: a. A brief description of the project, including a commonly used name for the project, if any; b. The location of the project, preferably shown on a map, and the name of the project proponent; c. A proposed finding that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment; d. An attached copy of the Initial Study documenting reasons to support the finding; and e. Mitigation measures, if any, included in the project to avoid potentially significant effects. While the lead agency anticipates no substantial evidence that the project may have a significant impact on the environment, M-Group anticipates that the City will adopt a Mitigated Negative Declaration due to environmental impacts that could be reduced to a "less than significant level" by using Best Management Practices and/or code requirements and to include any mitigations as conditions of approval for the proposed project. Sequence of Tasks The sequence of tasks for the Initial Study and Negative Declaration is as follows: o Prepare a project description that sufficiently describes the proposed development program, and the policies for development, conservation, and management of resources in the City of Redwood City. o Prepare Administrative Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration on the plan, and identify any policies, guidelines, standards, or programs that could help mitigate any identified significant impacts (with the intent that these recommendations could be incorporated into the plan). o Submit Administrative Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration for City staff review and meet to discuss the "self-mitigating" recommendations. o Revise Administrative Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration based on the City's consolidated set of non-contradictory comments (recognizing any revisions made to the project description that reflect the incorporation of self-mitigating recommendations) and submit a Screencheck Administrative Draft Initial Study and Negative Declaration for review. o Assuming that the City is comfortable with the analysis and that there are no significant unavoidable impacts publish and distribute for public review for 20-30 days as appropriate. o Following the close of the public review period, organize and prepare responses for inclusion in the staff report or as part of a Final Initial Study and Negative Declaration. o After incorporating all comments, adopt Final Initial Study and Negative Declaration. o Attend and support two public hearings on Negative Declaration adoption (includes attendance at three meetings). o Within two (2) months of adopting the Initial Study and Negative Declaration, make decision on project and adopt mitigating reporting/monitoring plan. o Create Notice of Determination (NOD) and file with the State Clearinghouse five (5) days after project approval.
