that would minimize or eliminate these impacts. Pursuant to Section 15183(i)(2) of the
<br />CEQA Guidelines, a project is consistent with the GPU if the development density does
<br />not exceed what was contemplated and analyzed for the parcel(s) in the certified GPU
<br />EIR and complies with the associated standards applicable to that development density.
<br />Development density standards can include the number of dwelling units per acre, the
<br />number of people in a given area, floor area ratio (FAR), and other measures of building
<br />intensity, building height, size limitations, and use restrictions.
<br />The prepared environmental review provides a limited examination of
<br />environmental effects for the proposed project, evaluating whether there are impacts that
<br />are peculiar to the project or the project site, impacts not analyzed as significant effects
<br />in the GPU EIR, potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts not evaluated in the
<br />GPU EIR, or previously identified significant effects that are determined to have a more
<br />severe adverse impact than discussed in the GPU EIR. Moreover, the review analyzed
<br />impacts to aesthetics, agricultural and forestry resources, air quality, biological resources,
<br />cultural resources, energy consumption, site geology and soils, greenhouse gas
<br />emissions, hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and
<br />planning, mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation,
<br />transportation, tribal cultural resources, utilities and service systems, and wildfire risk.
<br />Additionally, the review outlines implementation of applicable regulatory requirements
<br />and mitigation measures detailed in GPU EIR, related to the above -listed topics analyzed
<br />in the environmental review.
<br />The environmental review concluded that the proposed project is consistent with
<br />buildout of the General Plan Update. Upon implementation of regulatory requirements
<br />and mitigation measures contained in the GPU related to air quality, cultural resources,
<br />geology and soils, and noise the proposed project would not have any specific effects,
<br />which are peculiar to the project or the project site. Moreover, there are no project specific
<br />impacts or potentially significant off -site or cumulative impacts that the GPU PEIR did not
<br />analyze, and there are no new significant or substantially more severe impacts to
<br />aesthetics, agricultural and forestry resources, air quality, biological resources, cultural
<br />resources, energy consumption, site geology and soils, greenhouse gas emissions,
<br />hazards and hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning,
<br />mineral resources, noise, population and housing, public services, recreation,
<br />transportation, tribal cultural resources, utilities and service systems, and wildfire risk,
<br />than anticipated by the GPU PEIR. Based on this analysis, a Notice of Exemption,
<br />Environmental Review No. 2023-109 will be filed for this project.
