El total de los fondos asignados para el proyecto es de $205,107,638.
CONCLUSIÓN DE IMPACTO NO SIGNIFICATIVO:
El HCD ha realizado Estudios Ambientales de Nivel 1 en un sentido amplio para el programa en los condados de Los Ángeles, Ventura, Lake y Shasta y una Evaluación Ambiental de Nivel 1 para el programa en el condado de Butte. Las ubicaciones de los proyectos individuales no se conocen en este momento, y se completará un segundo nivel de revisiones/evaluaciones específicas del sitio cuando se conozca cada dirección (Nivel 2).
El HCD ha determinado que el programa no tendrá un impacto significativo en el medio ambiente. Por lo tanto, no se requiere una Declaración de Impacto Ambiental en virtud de la Ley Nacional de Política Ambiental de 1969 (National Environmental Policy Act, NEPA). Existe información adicional del proyecto en el Registro Ambiental de Revisión (ERR, en inglés). El ERR está disponible en línea para el público para su revisión en: Https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/disaster-recovery-programs/cdbg-dr/cdbg dr-2018/index.shtml o puede obtener una copia impresa si envía su solicitud por correo de los Estados Unidos al California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 o por correo electrónico a DR
El Nivel 2 de las revisiones/evaluaciones específicas del sitio se completará cuando se conozca cada dirección y se agregará al ERR. Las revisiones del Nivel 2 cubrirán las siguientes leyes y autoridades no tratadas en la revisión amplia de Nivel 1: Peligros de Aeropuertos [Título 24 del CFR Parte 51 Subparte D]; Ley de Protección de Desastres por Inundaciones de 1973 y Ley de Reforma del Seguro Nacional Contra Inundaciones de 1994 [Título 42 del USC 4001-4128 y Título 42 USC 5154a]; Ley de Administración de Zonas Costeras [Secciones 307(c) y (d)]; Contaminación y Sustancias Tóxicas [Título 24 del CFR Parte 50.3 (i) y 58.5 (i)(2)]; Ley de Especies en Peligro de 1973, particularmente la Sección 7 [Título 50 del CFR Parte 402]; Administración de la Llanura Aluvial [Orden Ejecutiva 11988, particularmente la Sección 2(a); Título 24 del CFR Parte 55]; Ley de Conservación Histórica Nacional de 1966 [Secciones 106 y 110; Título 36 del CFR Parte 800]; Ley de Control de Ruido de 1972, según enmienda de la Ley de Comunidades Silenciosas de 1978 [Título 24 del CFR Parte 51 Subparte B]; Orden Ejecutiva de Protección de Humedales 11990, particularmente las Secciones 2 y 5; Ley de Ríos y Naturaleza Escénica de 1968, particularmente la Sección 7 (b) y (c).
El cumplimiento con las diversas leyes, autoridades y estrategias escritas serán documentadas y enumeradas en el Nivel 2 del ERR y si se requieren medidas/condiciones de mitigación deberán incorporarse a los contratos y/o permisos, acuerdos de desarrollo y otros documentos relevantes del proyecto y se obtendrán de la agencia gubernamental que los emita.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT:
HCD has performed Tier 1 broad-level Environmental Reviews for the program in Los Angeles, Ventura, Lake, and Shasta Counties and a Tier 1 Environmental Assessment for the program in Butte County. Individual project locations are not known at this time
and a second level of site-specific reviews/assessments will be completed as each address becomes known (Tier 2).
HCD has determined that the program will have no significant impact on the environment. Therefore, an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) is not required. Additional project information is contained in the Environmental Review Record (ERR). The ERR is available to the public for review online at: https://www.hcd.ca.gov/community-development/disaster recovery-programs/cdbg-dr/cdbg-dr-2018/index.shtml, or a hard copy can be obtained by submitting a request via U.S. Mail to California Department of Housing and Community Development, 2020 West El Camino Ave., Suite 200, Sacramento, CA 95833 or by email to

Tier 2 reviews will cover the following laws and authorities not addressed in the Tier 1 broad review: Airport Hazards (24 CFR Part 51 Subpart D); Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 and National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 (42 USC 4001-4128 and 42 USC 5154a); Coastal Zone Management Act (Sections 307(c) and (d)); Contamination and Toxic Substances (24 CFR Part 50.3 (i) and 58.5 (i)(2)); Endangered Species Act of 1973, particularly Section 7 (50 CFR Part 402); Floodplain Management (Executive Order 11988, particularly
Section 2(a); 24 CFR Part 55); National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (Sections 106 and 110; 36 CFR Part 800); Noise Control Act of 1972, as amended by the Quiet Communities Act of 1978 (24 CFR Part 51 Subpart B); Wetlands Protection Executive Order 11990, particularly Sections 2 and 5; and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968, particularly Section 7 (b) and (c).
Compliance with various laws, authorities, and written strategies will be documented and listed in the Tier 2 ERR and, if required, mitigation measures/conditions will be incorporated into project contracts and/or permits, development agreements, and other relevant documents will be obtained from the issuing governmental agency.

ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATION:
HCD certifies to HUD that Janice L. Waddell in her capacity as Branch Chief, Federal Programs consents to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental review process and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. HUD’s approval of the certification satisfies its responsibilities under NEPA and related laws and authorities and allows HCD to use program funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF FUNDS:
HUD will accept objections to its release of funds and HCD’s certification for a period of fifteen days following the anticipated submission date or its actual receipt of the request (whichever is later) only if they are on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not executed by the Certifying Officer of HCD; (b) HCD has omitted a step or failed to make a decision or finding required by HUD regulations at 24 CFR part 58; (c) the grant recipient or other participants in the development process have committed funds, incurred costs or undertaken activities not authorized by 24 CFR Part 58 before approval of a release of funds by HUD; or (d) another Federal agency acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part 1504 has submitted a written finding that the project is unsatisfactory from the standpoint of environmental quality.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Clearlake will hold a public hearing at a regularly scheduled meeting of the City Council on Thursday, April 13th, 2021, at 6:00 p.m. or soon thereafter in the City Council Chambers at City Hall, 14050 Olympic Drive, Clearlake, CA., to consider the following:
The applicant, Akwaaba LLC, is requesting approval of Use Permit 14-20 to expand their current cannabis operation with a cannabis microbusiness license at 3995 Alvita Avenue (informally referenced as 14196 Lakeshore Drive) - the site of an existing retail cannabis dispensary, known as Triple C Collective. A micro business is allowed under state law and is defined as a (Type 12) license that allows a licensee to engage in the cultivation of cannabis on an area less than 10,000 square feet and to act as a licensed distributor, level 1 manufacturer, and a retailer, as specified in an application. The City recently enacted provisions that allow only the three existing retail dispensaries within the City to operate as “micro businesses,” consistent with this allowance in state law. Operating as a microbusiness would not expand the footprint of the operation but allows a single business to operate with multiple license types rather than the requirement to operate independently for other cannabis businesses. The City ordinance requires a use permit be approved as well as the business enter into a development agreement with the City.
