EIR-83-2 (along with an Addendum) on the El Rancho del Rey Specific Pl an
Amendment has been found to adequately address all appropri ate envi ronmental
issues known at the time of its preparation. However, a recent study
conducted by Michael Brandman Associates, Inc. (MBA) for The Gersten Companies
revealed significant new information pertaining to biological resources onsite
(MBA 1985). Additional information obtained subsequent to the completion of
both the WESTEC and MBA studies has also been determined to be highly
significant.
