Project Location: The project area is generally bound to the north by West Nielsen Avenue, to the west by North Del Norte Avenue, to the south by West Whitesbridge Road (State Route 180), and to the east by North Vineland Avenue, consisting of five parcels that total approximately 88.89 acres (APNs 025-130-48, 025-130-47, 025-130-60S, 020-120-11, and 020-120-17S). (See diagram). CEQA: The items described herein are considered "projects" under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as the City has discretionary authority to approve the project(s). An Initial Study has been prepared to evaluate the potential impacts associated with the Project to satisfy CEQA (Pub. Res. Code, Section 21000 et seq.) and the State CEQA Guidelines (Title 14 CCR §15000 et seq.). Based on the Initial Study, the proposed Project will not have a significant effect on the environment because the mitigation measures outlined in the proposed Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program have been incorporated into the Project. Copies of the Initial Study, Mitigated Negative Declaration, Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program, and project documents for the project listed above are available at Kerman City Hall and can also be found online at the City's website at: https://cityofkerman.net/175/Planning-Projects.
