NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Atherton Planning Commission will hold a public hearing to consider comments on the adequacy of the Draft Environmental Impact Report for the Atherton Library Building Project, pursuant to Atherton Municipal Code Chapter 15.32. Description: The approximately 0.3-acre project site is situated within the existing 22-acre Holbrook-Palmer Park, located at 150 Watkins Avenue in the Town of Atherton, San Mateo County (Assessor’s Parcel Number 061-310100). The proposed project would be sited within the general building area of the existing Main House, which is centrally located within the interior of the park. The proposed project includes demolition of the existing Main House and construction of a new two-story, up to 13,500-square-foot library and associated improvements. Some of the existing uses (e.g., meetings, classes and events) currently accommodated at the Main House would be absorbed by other facilities within the park. For the purposes of this environmental review and based on available information, this environmental analysis assumes that the existing library building, located at 2 Dinkelspiel (Station) Lane, would be repurposed for storage, Town ofďŹ ces or other civic use already occurring in the general vicinity of the existing library. The proposed project would require the following discretionary approvals: Environmental Review; General Plan Amendment; Holbrook-Palmer Park Master Plan Amendment; and Zoning Ordinance Amendment, as well as approval of the scope, size, and design of the new Library. Hazardous Waste Sites: The proposed project is not located on any hazardous waste sites lists enumerated under Section 65965.5 of the Government Code. SigniďŹ cant Anticipated Environmental Effects: The Draft EIR provides an evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of the proposed project and recommends mitigation measures to reduce impacts to a less-than-signiďŹ cant level. With implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, a majority of the signiďŹ cant impacts identiďŹ ed would be reduced to less than signiďŹ cant through the implementation of the proposed project. The proposed project would result in project-speciďŹ c and cumulatively considerable signiďŹ cant unavoidable impacts related to transportation. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a Draft Environmental Impact Report has been prepared for the above described project pursuant to the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and is now complete. A copy of this document, and all documents referenced in the Draft Environmental Impact Report, will be available for public review at the Atherton Town Hall, 91 AshďŹ eld Road, Atherton, CA beginning March 23, 2012.

The public review period is from March 23, 2012 to 5:00 p.m. May 7, 2012, and public comments regarding the project may be submitted up to that time. Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Report may be mailed to: Lisa Costa Sanders, Deputy Town Planner Atherton Town Hall 91 AshďŹ eld Road Atherton, CA 94027
