  Short Environmental Assessment Form
  Part 3 Determination of Significance
 For every question in Part 2 that was answered “moderate to large impact may occur”, or if there is a need to explain why a
 particular element of the proposed action may or will not result in a significant adverse environmental impact, please
 complete Part 3. Part 3 should, in sufficient detail, identify the impact, including any measures or design elements that
 have been included by the project sponsor to avoid or reduce impacts. Part 3 should also explain how the lead agency
 determined that the impact may or will not be significant. Each potential impact should be assessed considering its setting,
 probability of occurring, duration, irreversibility, geographic scope and magnitude. Also consider the potential for short-
 term, long-term and cumulative impacts.

The subject property will be used as residential consistent with surrounding properties although a zoning change
from C-1 and R-75n to C-1(S) will be required for the development of townhouses as opposed to single family
residences. Comments from interested agencies, including, but not limited to Department of Environment &
Planning, SHPO, ECWA, DPW, NYSDOT, Engineering, focused on maintaining mature trees, providing for
affordable housing, inclusion of bicycle infrastructure, and sidewalks, to name a few. The use of the property will no
result in significant negative environmental impacts.

  Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation,
  that the proposed action may result in one or more potentially large or significant adverse impacts and an
  environmental impact statement is required.
 ✔ Check this box if you have determined, based on the information and analysis above, and any supporting documentation,
