Part 2 is designed to help the lead agency inventory all potential resources that could be affected by a proposed project or action. We recognize that the lead agency's reviewer(s)will not necessarily be environmental professionals. So,the questions are designed to walk a reviewer through the assessment process by providing a series of questions that can be answered using the information found in Part 1. To further assist the lead agency in completing Part 2,the form identifies the most relevant questions in Part 1 that will provide the information needed to answer the Part 2 question. When Part 2 is completed,the lead agency will have identified the relevant environmental areas that may be impacted by the proposed activity. If the lead agency is a state agency and the action is in any Coastal Area,complete the Coastal Assessment Form before proceeding with this assessment.

Other impacts: ❑ ❑ Page 10 of 10 Full Environmental Assessment Form Part 3-Evaluation of the Magnitude and Importance of Project Impacts and Determination of Significance Part 3 provides the reasons in support of the determination of significance. The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3,the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page,the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope,duration,probability of the impact occurring,number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s)why the impact may,or will not,result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s)imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result • Attach additional sheets,as needed. The proposed action is the enactment by the Ithaca Town Board of(1)a local law that would revise the Town of Ithaca's sign provisions by deleting Town Code Chapter 221,entitled "Signs,"and adding sign provisions to Town Code Chapter 270,entitled "Zoning,"and Chapter 271, titled"Zoning:Special Land Use Districts,'(2)a local law that would add art murals to Town Code Chapter 270,entitled "Zoning,"and(3)a local law that would conform the sign requirements references in the Town Code,Chapter 125,entitled "Building Construction and Fire Prevention"and Chapter 173,entitled "Lighting,Outdoor." The proposed local law pertaining to signs includes revising definitions and sections for prohibited and exempt signs,revising criteria applying to signs in all zones, revising criteria applying specifically to signs in Residential,Conservation,Agricultural,Commercial,Industrial and Planned Development Zones,and revising sign illumination,maintenance and removal,and design review sections. The law also includes new sections for signs requiring permits,sign types(with pictures),and computation of sign area. The revised law is clearer for the public and staff to read and enforce,content-neutral,and accommodates changes in technology. The law has also been identified as a land use goal with "immediate priority"in the Comprehensive Plan,and has been crafted with the intent to protect the community from visual pollution,while providing flexibility in the various elements of sign review(types,sizes,locations,etc.). The law,which conforms with current legal doctrine,is not expected to result significant adverse environmental impacts because it prohibits certain types of signs that pose distractions and safety hazards for drivers,e.g.animated signs,electronic messaging centers. The law also sets dimensional standards related to size,placement, and height for signs in various zoning districts,and provides a design review section to encourage signs that are compatible with their surroundings and appropriate to the architectural character of the buildings near which the signs are located. The proposed local law pertaining to art murals includes new provisions for the placement,height,and permitting requirements for art mural installations.As art murals are not considered signs,the provisions do not currently exist in the Town Code.The new regulation will provide guidance for the public and staff. The law will not result insignificant adverse environmental impacts because it prohibits illumination of art murals,and,by locating murals at heights and scales visible to pedestrians,the law serves to increase community identity and foster a sense of place. The proposed local law pertaining to conforming sign requirements references in Town Code Chapters 125 and and 173, has no environmental consequence. The local law simply updates the two chapters to reference the new location of the Sign Law in the Zoning Chapter in order to facilitate cross-referencing between the laws.

The lead agency must complete Part 3 for every question in Part 2 where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. Based on the analysis in Part 3,the lead agency must decide whether to require an environmental impact statement to further assess the proposed action or whether available information is sufficient for the lead agency to conclude that the proposed action will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. By completing the certification on the next page,the lead agency can complete its determination of significance. Reasons Supporting This Determination: To complete this section: • Identify the impact based on the Part 2 responses and describe its magnitude. Magnitude considers factors such as severity, size or extent of an impact. • Assess the importance of the impact. Importance relates to the geographic scope,duration,probability of the impact occurring,number of people affected by the impact and any additional environmental consequences if the impact were to occur. • The assessment should take into consideration any design element or project changes. • Repeat this process for each Part 2 question where the impact has been identified as potentially moderate to large or where there is a need to explain why a particular element of the proposed action will not,or may,result in a significant adverse environmental impact. • Provide the reason(s)why the impact may,or will not,result in a significant adverse environmental impact • For Conditional Negative Declarations identify the specific condition(s)imposed that will modify the proposed action so that no significant adverse environmental impacts will result • Attach additional sheets,as needed.
