Community Development Department ENVIRONMENTAL/CULTURAL RESOURCES ANALYSIS Topography and Soil Conditions –The proposed FLUM change will not negatively impact the surrounding topography. Floodplains –Any proposed development will comply with the City’s FEMA approved Floodplain regulation.

Community Development Department ENVIRONMENTAL/CULTURAL RESOURCES ANALYSIS Vegetative Communities –Upland areas exist in sufficient acreage to be developed without impacting on-site wetlands. Protected Species Distribution/Wildlife Utilization –On-site wetlands provide the bulk of habitat resources. Staff is recommending the on-site wetlands and associated upland buffer be placed in a conservation designation. However, additional assessments will be required for site plan purposes to further verify wildlife utilization.

Community Development Department ENVIRONMENTAL/CULTURAL RESOURCES ANALYSIS Environmental Sensitive Features –Due to the nature of the connection to off- site wetlands, development of the site will likely not be impacted. Groundwater Resource Protection –Due to the site’s development intensity remaining relatively the same, it is highly unlikely that the land use activities associated with the proposed FLUM change will impact the potable water supply.

Community Development Department ENVIRONMENTAL/CULTURAL RESOURCES ANALYSIS Historical Resources –It cannot be concluded at this time that historical resources exist on the subject property due to lack of reference material and on-site investigations; however, existing regulations exist to protect against impact to historical resources during development.
