Environmental Review

The Final Master Environmental Impact Report (MEIR) for the Morgan Hill Downtown Specific Plan was certified in November 2009 in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).  An Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Morgan Hill 2035 Project, was prepared in accordance with CEQA and certified by the Morgan Hill City Council on July 27, 2016.

An environmental assessment was prepared for the project in compliance with the California Environment Quality Act (CEQA). The project will not individually or cumulatively introduce new impacts were that were not previously disclosed in the General Plan FEIR or the Downtown Specific Plan MEIR, nor would it result in a substantial increase in the magnitude of any significant environmental impacts previously identified.  Therefore, pursuant to Sections 15177(b) and 15179(b) of CEQA Guidelines, the project is consistent with Downtown Specific Plan Master EIR.
