self sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate a
plant or animal coam~nit~, reduce the number or
restrict the range of a rare or endangered plant
or animal or eliminate important examples of the
major periods of California histor~ or prehistor~?
b. Does the 'project have the potential to achieve
short-term, to the d~sadvantage of long-term,
environmental goals? (A short-term impact on
the environment is one which occurs in a re/a-
tivel~ brief, definitive ~eriod of time wh~le
long-term impacts will endure well into the
future. )
c. Does the project have impacts which are indiv-
iduallg limited, but cumulativel~ considerable?
(A project ma~ impact on two or more separate
resources where the impact on each resource

AI°P/ICA/qT* AND AFTER COMPl-~TING TJ4E ENVIFIONMENTAI. CHECKliST USE
BY THE CITY OF CAMPBEI. I- JN MAKING AN ENVIRONMENTAl. ASSESSMENT
I find the proposed project COULD NOT have a significant
effect on the environment, and a NEGATIVE DECLARATION
will be preparsd.
I find that although the proposed project could have a
significant effect on the environment, there will not'
be a significant effect in this case because the m~ti-
gation measures described on an attachsd sheet have
been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION
WILL BE PREPARED.
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect
on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IHPACT REPORT
is required.
