It was the Planning Department's opinion that the R-M zone rear yard requirements should be consistent with the R-I requirements. Pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act, the Planning Department has prepared an initial study for the proposed project. Said initial study did not disclose any substan- tial or potentially substantial adverse change in any of the phy- sical conditions within the area affected by the project including land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient joise, and objects of historical or aesthetic Significance. Therefore, a Negative Declaration has been prepared for this project. Before the Planning Commission and City Council takes action on this project, the Commission and Council should "move to approve and file the Negative Declaration and find that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment."
