To
ensure
a
conservative
analysis,
as
previously
indicated,
the
wind
tunnel
test
models
used
buildings
constructed
at
their
maximum
allowable
height
and
bulk.
It
should
be
noted
that
Figure
5
in
Comment
and
its
maximum
allowable
heights
illustrate
the
DSP-V
scenario
only.
As
shown
in
Draft
EIR
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
proposed
land
uses
in
the
DSP,
CPP,
and
CPP-V
scenarios
differ
from
those
in
the
DSP-V
scenario,
and
would
have
lower
maximum
allowable
building
heights.
Examples
include
the
following:
Area
north
of
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension
and
the
existing
Recology
site,
which
is
designated
for
entertainment
uses
in
the
DSP-V
scenario
with
a
maximum
allowable
height
of
125
feet.
DSP
scenario:
retail
with
a
maximum
height
of
90
feet.
CPP
scenario:
hotel
and
office/institutional
with
maximum
heights
of
120
and
80
feet,
respectively.
CPP-V
scenario:
Recology
expansion
with
a
maximum
height
of
105
feet.
Arena
along
the
south
side
of
the
proposed
Geneva
Avenue
extension
east
of
the
Caltrain
tracks,
which
is
designated
for
an
arena
with
a
150-foot
maximum
allowable
height
in
the
DSP-V
scenario.
DSP
scenario:
mid-rise
office
(northerly
block)
and
Office/R&D
1
(southerly
parcel)
with
maximum
heights
of
70
and
85
feet,
respectively.
CPP
scenario:
cultural/entertainment
and
regional
exhibition/performance
venue
with
maximum
heights
of
55
and
120
feet,
respectively.
CPP-V
scenario:
Recology
expansion
and
regional
exhibition/performance
venue
with
maximum
heights
of
105
and
120
feet,
respectively.
Hotel
and
conference
area
along
the
east
side
of
Sierra
Point
Parkway
at
“L”
and
“M”
Streets,
with
a
160-foot
maximum
allowable
height
in
the
DSP-V
scenario.
17
DSP
scenario:
same
use
and
building
height
as
the
DSP-V
scenario.
CPP
scenario:
office/institutional
with
a
hotel/extended
stay
overlay.
This
area
would
have
a
maximum
building
height
of
80
to
120
feet.
CPP-V
scenario:
same
use
and
building
height
as
the
CPP-V
scenario.

of
the
