61298 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 203 / Friday, October 21, 2005 / Notices 

and HUD regulations in 24 CFR Part 58, 

and EIS under the TRPA Code of 

Ordinances. 

The proposed development would 

consist of approximately 152 rental 

housing units, 23 buildings, 

approximately 41.7 percent site 

coverage, and a density of 12.4 units per 

acre. All of the units would be 

affordable to families with incomes at or 

below 80 percent of the median income. 

An internal looped roadway system 

with separate points for both entry and 

exit is proposed as part of the project. 

National Avenue would provide the 

main access from State Route 28. Points 

of access to the complex from National 

Avenue that are being considered 

include: Grey Lane and Toyon Road, 

with Wildwood Road via Estates Drive 

being an alternative or emergency access 

road. A Class 1 bike trail and onsite 

parking are also proposed for the site. 

Alternatives to the Proposed Action 

There are five alternatives to the 

proposed action to be analyzed in the 

EIR/EIS. The alternatives are all 

variations of the site layout and density. 

Alternative sites for the project were 

explored early in the process and it was 

determined that no other more viable 

site was available. 

Alternative B, 132 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 38.6 percent 

Population: 364 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative C, 160 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 44.0 percent 

Population: 452 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative D, 144 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 30 percent 

Population: 568 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative E, 152 Units 

Coverage Ratio: 50 percent 

Population: 394 (Assuming 1 person/ 

bedroom) 

Alternative F, No Project/No Action 

If nothing were done, no additional 

affordable housing would be built. The 

project site would remain vacant. 

Probable Environmental Effects 

The following subject areas will be 

analyzed in the combined EIS/EIR for 

probable environmental effects: water 

quality, soils and geology, air quality, 

noise, transportation, vegetation, 

wildlife and scenic resources, cultural 

and historic resources, land use, growth 

inducement, public services and public 

utilities. 

Lead Agencies 

For purposes of complying with 

NEPA and CEQA, Placer County is the 

Lead Agency and as the Responsible 

Entity under 24 CFR 58.2(a)(7) assumes 

the responsibility for environmental 

review, decisionmaking, and action that 

would otherwise apply to HUD under 

NEPA. Respectively, section 104(g) of 

Title I of the Housing and Community 

Development Act (42 U.S.C. 5304(g)) 

and section 288 of Title II of the 

Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable 

Housing Act (42 U.S.C. 12838) authorize 

recipients of HUD assistance to assume 

NEPA responsibilities in projects 

involving CDBG for infrastructure 

development and possibly HOME funds 

for affordable housing development. 

The TRPA is the Lead Agency for the 

EIS written in accordance with Tahoe 

Regional Planning Compact and TRPA’s 

Code of Ordinances. 

TRPA is a multi-state (California and 

Nevada) agency that has its own Code 

of Ordinances. These are based on both 

CEQA and NEPA but there are some 

minor differences from both, hence the 

necessity to do a three-way document 

that will comply with CEQA, TRPA and 

NEPA. TRPA has its own procedures 

and Code of Ordinances because it is 

exempt from CEQA and California land 

use laws. 

Questions may be directed to the 

individual named in this notice under 

the heading FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
