It depends, and having other homes around isn't a reliable indicator of whether you will need one. Some locations such as those in certain municipal
zones don't need an EIS even if they abut the Zona Federal on the ocean.
If an area was formerly undeveloped, or rustico it might be zoned as "forestal" which is a federal designation. Prior to any changes on a property
(moving dirt, changing plants, or building) each individual lot in this area will need to change the status of the zoning of the property from
"forestal" to "urbano". This process is called a "Cambio Uso de Suelo" and SEMARNAT considers it the most important part of the Impact Study.
So even if there are other houses around you, you need to find out if your property is "forestal" especially if it was formerly a rural area . If
you're in a development where lots were subdivided, the developer may have already done the Cambio Uso de Suelo.

kinds of junk boat's, car's, old trailers and other debris on the lot's so the people would think the lots had been there for a long time.  |
Genius...LOL
