Palo Alto Medical Foundation Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR)

In accordance with CEQA, the Draft EIR was distributed for public review and comments. The public review period for the Draft EIR began March 1, 2006 and ended May 1, 2006. During this timeframe, the document was reviewed by various state, regional, and local agencies, as well as by interested organizations and individuals. Sixty two comment letters were received from eight public agencies, six organizations, and 49 individuals. A public meeting was also held in the City of San Carlos on April 3, 2006 to obtain oral comments on the Draft EIR. During the public meeting, oral comments were received from the City Planning Commissioners, City Council Members, and individual members of the public.

Section 1 reviews the purpose and contents of this Responses to Comments document. Section 2 lists the public agencies, organizations, and individuals who submitted comments on the Draft EIR.
