CEQA Documentation – Prepare Public Review. IS/MND MIG will prepare an IS that complies with the requirements of CEQA and provides the necessary analysis for the City to determine if the project may potentially cause, either individually or cumulatively, a significant effect on the environment. MIG will prepare a comprehensive Project Description that will be used to evaluate the project’s impacts. The Project Description will describe the project location, existing site conditions, proposed actions, all phases of project construction, and list the required permits and actions needed to approve the proposed project. The Project Description will be supported with maps and graphics as appropriate. Based on the Project Description, MIG will evaluate the project according to the IS Checklist questions consistent with Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines. The IS impact analysis will be conducted according to current CEQA Guidelines and case law and will be based on the Project Description, data request information provided by the project team, relevant policies and regulations, and appropriate Thresholds of Significance. Based on our current knowledge of the environmental setting and proposed project features, we expect the primary project impacts to be related to biological and hydrological resources and short-term construction impacts. The Biological Resources Report will be used to answer the IS Checklist questions related to biology. We will use the results of the cultural resource literature search to respond to the cultural resource impact questions. We will provide through responses to all questions on the IS Checklist and provide references for all information used to support our conclusion. An administrative draft IS/MND will be submitted to the City for review and comment.
