  • The Following Are the Environmental Documents Associated with the Parks Master Plan
    ATTACHMENT 3 Environmental Review Documents for the Parks Master Plan The following are the environmental documents associated with the Parks Master Plan. The environmental documents include the Errata sheet, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Program. 1 Community Development Department Parks Master Plan Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration Errata Sheet February 5, 2019 Introduction This errata sheet presents, in strike through and underline format, the revisions to the Parks Master Plan Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration (IS/MND) text as a result of public and Planning Commission comments. The revisions to the IS/MND reflected in this errata sheet do not affect the adequacy of the environmental analysis contained in the Parks Master Plan IS/MND that was circulated for public review. Because the changes presented below would not result in any new significant impacts or increase in impact significance from what was identified in the IS/MND, recirculation of the Parks Master Plan IS/MND is not required. ERRATA TEXT CHANGES Mitigation Measure AEST-1 appearing in the Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration on page 2, in the Initial Study Checklist on page 39 and in the Mitigation, Monitoring and Reporting Plan (MMRP) Mitigation Measure AEST-1 (All Existing and Planned Parks): To avoid light and glare impacts from park projects and to protect the coastside dark night skies valued by the Park Master Plan, the City shall prepare a lighting plan for each park project that contains a night lighting element to it. The lighting plan should provide design and illumination requirements of the project and address how the plan reduces any light and glare impacts and protects dark night skies, to the satisfaction of the Community Development Director.
