ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
An Initial Study was prepared for the project and concluded that there will be less than significant impacts on the environment with the incorporation of mitigation measures; a Mitigated Negative Declaration has therefore been prepared. Possible impacts on Cultural Resources, Hazardous Materials, and Tribal Cultural Resources were identified in the Initial Environmental Study.
Comments on the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration may be received in writing between Wednesday, July 6, 2022 and Wednesday, July 27, 2022; and at public hearing. Please submit comments in writing by 5:00 PM on July 27, 2022, to the attention of Beilin Yu, Senior Planner, Planning & Community Development Department, Planning Division, Current Planning Section, 175 North Garfield Avenue, Pasadena, California, 91101; or via email to byu@cityofpasadena.net. If you wish to challenge the Initial Study and Mitigated Negative Declaration in court, you may be limited to raising those issues that your or someone else raised at any public hearing where these documents were considered.
