As
stated
on
page
4.N-150,
emergency
vehicle
access
for
Project
Site
development
has
been
determined
to
be
less
than
significant.
As
described
in
Section
4.L,
Public
Services
,
each
development
scenario
includes
a
circulation
plan
designed
to
ensure
appropriate
emergency
access
to
and
from
the
Baylands
Project
Site
and
to
provide
access
to
all
development
areas
through
the
above-cited
new
roadways
(specifically
to
facilitate
North
County
Fire
Authority’s
emergency
response
within
the
Baylands).
Further,
all
development
will
be
required
to
be
designed
in
accordance
with
City
and
North
County
Fire
Authority
standards,
which
include
provisions
that
address
emergency
access
(e.g.,
minimum
street
widths,
minimum
turning
radii).
In
addition,
emergency
vehicles
would
be
able
to
use
transit
lanes
when
streets
are
congested.
Therefore,
impacts
on
emergency
access
were
determined
to
be
less
than
significant.
All
mitigation
measures
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR
are
enforceable,
and
will
be
implemented
through
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
set
forth
in
Chapter
4
of
the
Final
EIR.
See
3
for
discussion
of
implementing
mitigation
measures
and
their
enforceability.
The
locations
of
the
I-280
and
I-380
freeways
--
3
miles
west
and
4
miles
south
of
the
Baylands
Project
site,
respectively
–
are
clearly
identified
on
page
4.N-4
of
the
Draft
EIR.
See
3
for
a
discussion
of
the
enforceability
and
implementation
of
EIR
mitigation
measures.
CEQA
requires
an
EIR
to
analyze
the
physical
environmental
changes
that
would
result
from
a
proposed
project
by
comparing
the
impacts
of
the
project
to
existing
conditions,
i.e.,
baseline.
A
project’s
economic
and
social
effects
are
not
treated
as
effects
on
the
environment,
unless
it
can
be
demonstrated
that
physical
effects
will
result
from
those
economic
and
social
effects.
Whether
existing
roadways
on
the
project
site
are
“socially
obsolete,”
or
are
subject
to
crime
as
suggested
by
the
commenter,
is
not
an
impact
of
the
project
or
a
physical
environmental
issue
subject
to
CEQA
analysis,
but
may
be
considered
as
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
for
the
Baylands.
The
existing
transit
network
is
described
on
pages
4.N-12
to
4.N-18
of
the
Draft
EIR,
which
establishes
the
baseline
for
the
transit
impact
analysis.
These
are
the
physical
environmental
conditions
in
the
Baylands
vicinity
at
the
time
of
Notice
of
Preparation
for
Project
Site
development.
Transit
impact
analysis
for
both
existing
and
future
time
periods
are
discussed
on
pages
4.N-129
to
4.N-141,
which
includes
transit
demand
generated
by
Project
Site
development
(existing
and
future)
and
other
sources,
such
as
nearby
projects
or
through
regional
growth
(future).
