An Initial Environmental Study was completed in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This Initial Study was undertaken for the purpose of determining whether the project may have a significant effect on the environment. On the basis of this Initial Study, the City Staff has concluded that the project will not have a significant effect on the environment (provided the project incorporates mitigation measures into its development) and has therefore prepared a Draft Mitigated Negative Declaration. The Initial Environmental Study reflects the independent judgment of the City.
Public comments on the Negative Declaration will be received by the City through September 13, 2022. Written comments should be sent to the City of Dinuba Public Works Department, 1088 E. Kamm Avenue, Dinuba, CA 93618 ATTN: Karl Schoettler or by email: karl@weplancities.com.
