Alternatives considered by the City but rejected will be explained. These may include the offer of five acres on the south side of the park, use of the Godinez High School parking garage or other alternatives. The No Action alternative will also be addressed. Public Scoping and Comment With the assistance of City staff, PlaceWorks will compile of list of interested agencies, homeowner's groups, and individuals who have indicated an interest. PlaceWorks will also generate a mailing list of addresses within a 500 -foot radius of the three sites (Centennial, Site 1, and Site 2). PlaceWorks will prepare a notice for and participate in a scoping meeting. It is assumed that the City will mail the notices and secure the location for the meeting. PlaceWorks will prepare a presentation describing the project, summarizing the CEQA process and taking notes of comments received. Public Review After approval by NPS for circulation, the EA will be made public for a minimum of 30 days. Comments received on the EA will be collected, and a report on those comments will be provided to NPS. Analysis of Public Comments Comments on the EA will be reviewed, responses will be prepared, and any changes required of the EA will be reported to NPS. Revised Environmental Assessment Based on a review of the EA and all comments and responses, the NPS may determine that changes to the EA are required. If the EA is revised, the document will again be made available for public review for 30 days. Decision Document PlaceWorks will prepare a draft of the decision document, a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI), or Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS for NPS review. After NPS review and approval, the decision document will be made available for public review. Administrative Record PlaceWorks will be responsible for maintaining the NEPA Administrative Record. CEQA DOCUMENTATION The proposed project will also trigger requirements for environmental review under CEQA. Based on our understanding of the project and of CEQA requirements, we expect that the preparation of a (Mitigated) Negative Declaration will be sufficient. Although highly unlikely, should an impact be found to be significant and unmitigated, the project could trigger the requirement foran EIR. PlaceWorks will prepare an Initial Study that will contain a detailed description of the proposed project and environmental setting, environmental impact checklist, analysis of each environmental topic, and mitigation measures, as appropriate.
