Residents looking for some light reading to kick off the year may want to consider the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the proposed 315-unit, multi-family Terraces of Lafayette project near Acalanes High School. The information in the three volume set provides a report summary, revisions to the Draft EIR, lots of exhibits that include everything from the 1976 Major Ridgeline Ordinance to appendices on geology and soils along with responses to comments received on the Draft EIR.
There will be a public meeting of the Planning Commission to consider certification of the Final EIR on Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Community Hall of the Lafayette Library and Learning Center. The focus of this meeting is simply to determine if the Final EIR is in compliance with CEQA - the California Environmental Quality Act. Residents wishing to comment either for or against the proposed project can do so after the environmental review process is completed. The document is rather long, best to read it via the city website at www.ci.lafayette.ca.us, at the City Offices, 3675 Mt. Diablo Boulevard, Suite 210, or at the Lafayette Library; or call for a CD copy, (925) 284-1968. C. Tyson.
