Squires <br />May 24, 2007 <br />Page 3 of 3 <br />The AUAR rule specifies that residential, coir►mercial, warehousing and light <br />industrial projects and associated infrastructure within the area that are consistent with <br />the assumptions of the document and that comply with the plan for initigation are those <br />that are exempt from review. Since an AUAR may be used instead of an EAW/EIS <br />procedure to "revie��v anticipated development and infrastructure within a particular <br />geographic area," it is not necessary for any particular project to have been proposed in <br />order to undertake an AUAR review. If a specific project that would be subject to an <br />EAW or an EIS is proposed in an area for which an AUAR is planned but not yet <br />completed, the RGU has the discretion to review the specific project through either the <br />AUAR procedure or the EAW/EIS procedures. Thus the rule contemplates a situation <br />where an AUAR is begun and a project is later proposed. Under those circumstances, <br />review occurs either through the AUAR or the EAW/EIS process. Either way, review is <br />contemplated prior to permitting. It would seem to reason that the language specifying <br />that no permits may be granted until the AUAR is completed would apply to any <br />residential, commercial, warehousing and/or light industrial development which is <br />proposed within the boundaries of the area being covered by the AUAR, and that the <br />same tollin� as in any other environmental review situation should apply. <br />R�zM. ato6zs6�cmg <br />
