Morgan Hill 2035 Environmental Impact Report

Addendum to Morgan Hill 2035 EIR for Zoning Code Update (PDF)
March 2018, Revised April 2018 

Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)

The Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) (PDF) responds to comments (FEIR Appendix A Numbered Letters (PDF)) received on the Draft Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the Morgan Hill 2035 Project. The FEIR includes revisions to the Draft EIR as necessary in response to these comments. Revisions to the proposed General Plan and Residential Development Control System (RDCS) made in response to these comments were considered by the Morgan Hill City Council as part of the adoption of the General Plan and RDCS. None of these revisions resulted in significant changes to the Project Description or findings of the Draft EIR that would have triggered the need to recirculate the Draft EIR.

This document (PDF), together with the Draft EIR (PDF), constitute the Final EIR. On July 27, 2016, the Morgan Hill City Council adopted Resolution No. 16-127 (PDF), certifying the Final EIR for the Morgan Hill 2035 General Plan and Residential Development Control System (RDCS) as consistent with the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and adopting a Statement of Overriding Considerations regarding environmental impacts and a related Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program (MMRP).
