The
commenter
mistakenly
asserts
that
no
further
environmental
consideration
would
occur
in
the
event
the
EIR
was
certified
and
development
approved
by
the
City.
To
the
contrary,
as
detailed
in
1,
site-specific
development
projects
within
the
Baylands
will
undergo
further
environmental
review
under
CEQA
to
determine
whether
the
projects
would
result
in
new
or
more
severe
significant
environmental
effects
than
those
disclosed
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR.
The
City
would
then
prepare
the
appropriate
CEQA
documents
for
those
subsequent
site-specific
development
projects.
As
stated
in
Draft
EIR
Chapter
5.0
Alternatives
,
“Pursuant
to
the
provisions
of
CEQA
Guidelines
Section
15126.6(d),
an
EIR
must
evaluate
the
comparative
merits
of
the
alternatives
identified
in
an
EIR
and
contain
sufficient
information
about
each
alternative
to
permit
that
evaluation.
The
significant
effects
of
each
alternative
must
be
discussed,
but
in
less
detail
than
is
required
for
the
Project
Site
development’s
effects.
However,
the
analysis
must
be
conducted
at
a
sufficient
level
of
detail
to
provide
the
public,
other
public
agencies,
and
City
decision-makers
with
adequate
information
to
allow
an
informed
comparison
of
the
impacts
of
the
Project
Site
development
with
those
of
the
alternatives.
Alternatives
have
been
evaluated
with
sufficient
detail
to
permit
the
City
to
consider
any
of
the
Project
Site
development
scenarios,
an
alternative,
or
a
mix
of
Project
Site
development
scenario(s)
and
alternative(s).”
(Draft
EIR
page
Therefore,
CEQA
does
not
require
that
specific
trip
generation
calculations,
intersection
analysis
and
air
quality
emissions
be
calculated
for
each
alternative
so
long
as
a
comparison
of
the
level
of
impacts
can
be
made
between
alternatives.
A
table
comparing
each
alternative
to
the
scenarios
and
other
alternatives
is
provided
in
Chapter
3.0
of
the
Final
EIR.
