Taylor MountainINITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIONbe a secondary access with a small parking lot. Given the size of this staging area, level ofanticipated vehicle use (see Section B.3.14, Transportation) and the distance to the nearestsensitive receptor (200 feet), noise levels are not expected to substantially increase overexisting ambient noise levels. Therefore, noise associated with park use would not substantiallydeviate from ambient noise levels in this area.e. For a project located within an airport land use plan or, where such a plan has not beenadopted, within two miles of a public airport or public use airport, would the projectexpose people residing or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?NO IMPACT. The project site is not located within two miles of a public airport or within anairport land use plan.f. For a project within the vicinity of a private air strip, would the project expose peopleresiding or working in the project area to excessive noise levels?NO IMPACT. The project site is not located within the vicinity of a private airstrip.Final B-94 September 2012
Taylor MountainINITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATIONB.3.11 Population and HousingPOPULATION AND HOUSINGWould the project:a. Induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (forexample, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly(for example, through extension of roads or other infrastructure)?PotentiallySignificantImpactLess thanSignificantWithMitigationIncorporatedLess thanSignificantImpactNo Impactb. Displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitatingthe construction of replacement housing elsewhere?c. Displace substantial numbers of people necessitating the constructionof replacement housing elsewhere?Significance criteria established by CEQA Guidelines, Appendix G.B.3.11.1 SettingThe proposed project would be located in unincorporated Sonoma County just south of the Cityof Santa Rosa. There is one occupied residence on the project site.B.3.11.2 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measuresa. Would the project induce substantial population growth in an area, either directly (forexample, by proposing new homes and businesses) or indirectly (for example, throughextension of roads or other infrastructure)?NO IMPACT. The proposed Master Plan allows low-intensity recreational use of TaylorMountain; it would not result in population growth or create pressure for new populationgrowth. Development of the Preserve would potentially create a very limited number of jobs,which would likely be filled by the local labor pool. The only extension of roads or otherinfrastructure would be the driveway accesses for the Preserve and provision of electricity tothe property. These improvements would not directly or indirectly induce population growth.b. Would the project displace substantial numbers of existing housing, necessitating theconstruction of replacement housing elsewhere?NO IMPACT. Implementation of the Master Plan would not result in the displacement of anyhousing, including affordable housing, nor would it necessitate the construction of replacementhousing. The one residence on the property would remain, pursuant to a life-estateagreement.c. Would the project displace substantial numbers of people necessitating the constructionof replacement housing elsewhere?NO IMPACT. The proposed project would not result in the displacement of people, nor would itnecessitate the construction of replacement housing elsewhere.September 2012 B-95 Final
