It also permits prilralte clitize-n-s to h-e- k..n.o-r-1edrrnnh1m urhiln Int-Wrl use decisions required by a proposed project. The. Rohnert Park City Council has adopted comprehensive guidelines covering the preparation of impact n ports and the specific content they must include. These guidelines were designed to accomplish and facilitate comprehensive reviews of the environmental aspects of proposed projects. The Shapell Environmental Impact Report ignores vell over 60% of the City's guidelines and therefore does not provide a knowledgeable or comprehensive evaluation of the projects effect on the environment. It is somewhat incomprehensible that a public corporation, as large as Shapell Industries is, should be so insensitive to an area of such great concern, the environment. al TMpaC1 I 4S 4 S4 4- The ShlapeAn IndA u S 4C, Ir J-;-es 111invironmentE. -L -L Q deport -L -Lncon J.st-enu with t1ae guidelines adopted by the City of Rohnert Park as follows: C> I.
