NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW FOR A
SUBSEQUANT MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION
The Public Review Draft of the Subsequent Mitigated Negative Declaration (SMND) for the proposed project is now available for public review. The proposed project would subdivide a 20.13-acre site, with approximately 10 acres to be developed and the remaining acreage preserved as undeveloped open space. The developed portion would include 51 residential lots, open space areas, and related infrastructure improvements. As part of the project approvals, the site would be rezoned to a Planned Development (PD) district. Members of the public are invited to review the SMND and provide comments during the designated public review period.
Findings: The Subsequent MND prepared by the City of Vallejo was undertaken for the purpose of deciding whether the proposed project would result in any new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts than those analyzed in the General Plan 2040 and Sonoma Boulevard Specific Plan Draft Environmental Impact Report. The Subsequent MND finds that implementation of feasible mitigation measures would either avoid or reduce all impacts to a less-than-significant level. On the basis of the Subsequent MND, City staff has concluded that the proposed project would not result in any new or substantially more severe significant environmental impacts than those analyzed in the prior CEQA document and that the project and associated environmental effects do not meet the conditions described in CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 requiring preparation of a subsequent EIR, and therefore, has prepared a Subsequent MND.
