Key Lot Definition<\/h2>\n

An EIR (Environmental Impact Report)<\/strong> is a detailed, in-depth analysis of the consequences that a real estate development<\/a> project might have on the environment in and around the target property.<\/p>\n

Explanation<\/h2>\n

An environmental impact report (EIR), is required by the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for certain actions “significantly affecting the quality of the human environment”.<\/p>\n

EIR is a helpful tool used during real estate development decision making. It outlines the various environmental effects, both positive and negative, of the proposed development project.<\/p>\n

An EIR is typically broken down in several sections covering the following general areas:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A statement describing the Proposed Action.<\/li>\n
  2. A description of the environment that will be impacted by the Proposed Action.<\/li>\n
  3. Suggested Alternatives to the Proposed Action.<\/li>\n
  4. An analysis of the impacts of each Suggested Alternative.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
