SUBJECT: A REQUEST FOR AN EXTENSION OF THE PUBLIC REVIEW PERIOD
FOR THE NEWHALL RANCH DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
REPORT AND SPECIFIC PLAN
DEPARTMENT: City Manager
The Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) and Specific Plan for the Newhall Ranch project
were received by the Community Development Department on August 8, 1996. The typical
review period for an EIR is mandated through the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
to be a minimum of 45 days, with the County of Los Angeles extending the public review period
for this project to 90 days. However, due to the size and scope of this project, I would like to
forward a formal request to the County of Los Angeles that recommends an extension of the
review period for an additional 30 days. This would ultimately extend the public review period
to a total of 120 days.
Currently, the public review period for the DEIR runs from August 8, 1996 to November 5, 1996.
An additional 30 day period of time would extend the public review period to December 5, 1996.
Discuss options and provide staff direction for forwarding a formal request to the County of Los
Angeles recommending a public review period of -M days for the Newhall Ranch Draft
Environmental Impact Report and Specific Plan. l C9 0
