The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires all projects with a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Negative Declaration (ND) or Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) to be available for public review for a minimum of 20 days for a ND/MND and 45 days for an EIR for the public to comment. Additionally, if an EIR has been determined necessary for a project, a Notice of Preparation (NOP) is issued to determine the scope of environmental issues to be analyzed in an EIR. This NOP provides for a response period of 30 days to the City concerning the content of the proposed drafting of an EIR. For further information regarding CEQA and the City's Local Environmental Review Process, follow the links.

Notices required by CEQA are distributed to inform the public of the review and/or comment period. Comments should be submitted in writing and must include contact information (name, address, email address). All such comments received by the City will be made available to the City's decision makers for consideration prior to rendering a decision on the project.
