Introduction and Overview <br />Impact Terminology <br />The following terminology is used to describe the level of significance of <br />impacts: <br />^ A finding of no impact is appropriate if the analysis concludes that the <br />project would not affect the particular topic area in any way. <br />^ An impact is considered less than significant if the analysis concludes that it <br />would cause no substantial adverse change to the environment and requires <br />no mitigation. <br />^ An impact is considered less than significant with mitigation incorporated if <br />the analysis concludes that it would cause no substantial adverse change to <br />the environment with the inclusion of environmental commitments or other <br />enforceable measures that have been agreed to by the applicant. <br />^ An impact is considered potentially significant if the analysis concludes that <br />it could have a substantial adverse effect on the environment. For the <br />proposed project, no impacts were determined to be potentially significant. <br />IS/MND Organization <br />The content and format of this report are designed to meet the requirements of <br />CEQA.
