Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Individuals
pertaining
to
rare
plant
protections
are
described
in
Mitigation
Measures
4.C-1a
and
4.C-1b.
A
detailed
discussion
regarding
provision
of
open
space
in
relation
to
City
of
Brisbane
standards
is
presented
in
Section
4.M,
Recreational
Resources
,
of
the
Draft
EIR.
On
page
4.I-23,
Table
4.I-1
explicitly
acknowledges
that
the
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands
under
the
developer-sponsored
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
does
not
meet
the
open
space
standards
of
the
National
Recreation
and
Parks
Association
as
set
forth
in
the
Brisbane
General
Plan.
As
stated
on
page
4.M-9,
these
standards
are
based
on
the
acres
of
parks
and
open
space
provided
per
1,000
residents
.
Since
the
CPP
and
CPP-V
scenarios
do
not
propose
residential
use,
there
would
be
no
onsite
residents
against
which
park
and
open
space
needs
could
be
measured.
The
City
will,
however,
consider
the
adequacy
of
proposed
open
space
and
recreational
areas
within
all
scenarios
as
part
of
the
planning
review
undertaken
for
the
Baylands.
Cumulative
impacts
on
parks
and
recreation
facilities
are
addressed
in
Chapter
6
of
the
Draft
EIR.
See
1
for
discussion
of
the
appropriateness
of
the
programmatic
analysis
contained
in
the
Draft
EIR.
Cumulative
impacts
(impact
of
proposed
Baylands
development
in
combination
with
other
past,
present,
and
reasonably
foreseeable
future
development,
including
redevelopment
of
the
Candlestick
Park
area)
are
addressed
in
Chapter
6
of
the
Draft
EIR.
CEQA
focuses
on
the
identification,
analysis,
and
mitigation
of
a
project’s
physical
environmental
effects,
not
on
its
economic
sustainability.
The
City
will
consider
the
issues
raised
in
this
comment
as
part
of
its
planning
review
and
decisionmaking
for
proposed
Baylands
development.
The
comment
is
incorrect
in
its
assertion
that
“any
possible
traffic
mitigation”
has
been
“subsumed
under
the
need
for
specific
plans,
of
which
there
are
none.”
As
clearly
outlined
in
Chapter
1,
Introduction
,
and
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
along
with
the
four
concept
plans
is
a
proposed
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
(Universal
Paragon
Corporation)
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios.
The
proposed
Specific
Plan
is
clearly
included
among
the
components
of
the
Baylands
development
program
in
Tables
and
Draft
EIR
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Transportation
,
provides
a
thorough
analysis
of
impacts
for
each
development
scenario
related
to
the
generation
of
automobile
traffic
during
Project
Site

construction,
generation
of

and
