3. The City may require that it, and not the private <br /> applicant, will complete all or part of the environmental <br /> checklist for a private proposal, if either of the <br /> following occurs: <br /> a. The City has technical information on a question or <br /> questions contained in the environmental checklist <br /> that is unavailable to the private applicant; or <br /> b. The applicant has provided misleading and <br /> inaccurate information on previous proposals or on <br /> proposals currently under consideration. <br /> Section IIIE: MITIGATED DNS <br /> 1. As provided in this section and in WAC 197-11-350, the <br /> responsible official may issue a mitigated determination <br /> of non-significance (mitigated DNS) for a proposal <br /> whenever: <br /> a. The City specifies mitigation measures in its DNS <br /> and conditions the proposal to include those <br /> mitigation measures so that the proposal will not <br /> have a probable significant adverse environmental <br /> impact; and <br /> b. The proposal is clarified or changed by the <br /> applicant to mitigate impacts of the proposal so <br /> that, in the judgment of the responsible official, <br /> the proposal will not have a probable significant <br /> adverse environmental impact. <br /> 2. After submission of an environmental checklist and prior <br /> to the City's threshold determination, an applicant may <br /> submit a written request for early notice of whether a <br /> Determination of Significance (DS) is likely under WAC <br /> 197-11-350. <br /> 3. The responsible official should respond to the request <br /> for early notice within 15 working days. The response <br /> shall: <br /> a. Be written; <br /> b. State whether the City currently considers issuance <br /> of a DS likely and, if so, indicate the potentially <br /> significant adverse environmental impacts that are <br /> leading the City to consider a DS; and <br /> c. State that the applicant may change or clarify the <br /> proposal to mitigate the indicated impacts, and <br /> revise the environmental checklist and/or permit <br /> application for the proposal as necessary to <br /> describe the changes or clarifications. <br /> 4. As much as possible, the City should assist the applicant <br /> with identification of impacts to the extent necessary to <br /> formulate mitigation measures. <br /> 5. When an applicant submits a changed or clarified <br /> proposal, along with a revised environmental checklist, <br /> the City shall base its threshold determination on the <br /> changed or clarified proposal and should make the <br /> determination within 15 days of receiving the changed or <br /> clarified proposal: <br /> -12- <br />
