<br />` Marina squaw Auto Mall Expansion <br />Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />August 2001 <br />the existing Marina Square Auto Mall. The zoning on the property is IG Industrial <br />General District with the S-Special Overlay District, in which automobile dealerships <br />are a pernutted use. The proposed project would be consistent with past policy <br />direction and would not result in any potential land use conflicts. In addition, because <br />the .proposed project is in proximity to other automobile dealerships and would <br />replace older/abandoned industrial. and commercial uses, .development of the project <br />would not result in a physical division of the'established community. . <br />B. The proposed project has been reviewed according to the standards anal requirements of <br />the California. Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and an Initial. Study Environmental <br />Evaluation Checklist has been prepared with a determination that the project will not <br />have a significant impact on the environment and as long as the future applicants for the <br />respective automobile dealerships comply with all identified mitigation measures. <br />C. The project azea is located within the seismically-active Bay Area, therefore it is <br />likely that during the lifetime of future residences constructed on the project situ, they <br />will be subject to seismic shaking, and other earthquake-induced effects. The <br />preliminary geotechnical .report indicates that the site has a low potential for <br />liquefaction; and a low to moderate potential for expansive soils. Potential impacts <br />related to on-site soils and grading can be adequately mitigated as long as mitigation <br />identified by staff ~is implemented prior to Site Plan Review approval and issuance of <br />grading permits for the respective development sites. The mitigation measures are <br />conditions of approval. <br />D. Development of the two new automobile dealerships and construction of the new <br />roadway may. ,result in potentially significant impacts related to water quality, <br />groundwater, drainage patterns, and increased run-off Potential impacts related Ito <br />hydrology and water quality can be adequately mitigated as long as mitigation identified. <br />by staff is implemented prior to Site Plan Review approval and issuance of grading <br />permits for the respective development sites. The mitigation measures are conditions of <br />approval. <br />E. The project site has been utilized for the last 80+ years for a variety of light industrial <br />uses,: including a commercial nursery on the eastern portion of the property. Phase I anal <br />II Environmental Assessments sand an Asbestos Survey prepared for the project site <br />indicate that residual levels of organochlorine pesticides maybe present .in on-site soils <br />and in at least one groundwater well sampled, and that asbestos-containing construction <br />materials are present. Potential impacts related to hazardous materials in relation to <br />proposed site demolition -and development on the project sites can be .adequately <br />mitigated as long as mitigation identified by staff is implemented prior to approval of <br />the Site Plan Review approval and prior to issuance of grading permits, The mitigation <br />measures are conditions of approval. <br />F. Site-specific wastewater, water supply and storm drainage information has not been _~ <br />analyzed. Potential impacts related to wastewater, water' supply and storm. drain <br />. discharge can be mitigated as long as mitigation identified by staff is implemented. prior <br />2 <br />
