Goleta Train Depot

The proposed project Final EIR has been prepared pursuant to the  requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) (Public Resources Code, §§ 21000 et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of  Regulations, §§ 15000 et seq.), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Goleta is acting as the Lead Agency for this project. The Final EIR identifies and discusses potential impacts, mitigation measures, monitoring  requirements, and residual impacts for identified subject areas. Potentially significant but mitigable effects on the environment are anticipated in the following areas: Biology (short term during construction), Cultural Resources, Geology and Soils, Hazards and Hazardous Materials, and Tribal Cultural Resources. To approve the Goleta Train Depot project, the City Council would NOT need to adopt a Statement of Overriding Considerations as no significant and unavoidable impacts are identified. The site is not listed on any hazardous waste facilities or disposal sites as enumerated under Section 65962.5 of the California Government Code (the “Cortese list”).  Please see the below links to the full Notice of Availability (NOA) and Notice of Public Hearing for more information, including how you can submit comments, and links to the proposed FEIR and Appendices.
