imbalance
between
jobs
and
housing.
As
a
result,
while
a
balance
of
jobs
and
housing
does
not
result
in
all
workers
living
in
close
proximity
to
their
place
of
employment,
it
does
result
in
shorter
average
commute
distances
than
areas
without
such
a
balance.
As
described
25,
under
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
that
propose
both
residential
and
employment-generating
uses
within
the
Baylands,
approximately
5
percent
of
all
home-to-work
trips
associated
with
proposed
Baylands
development
would
remain
within
the
Baylands.
See
for
a
discussion
of
the
relationship
between
housing
and
employment
in
relation
to
commute
distances
and
for
the
actual
assumptions
regarding
the
number
of
residents
and
workers
in
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
that
would
both
live
and
work
within
the
Baylands.
The
information
in
Table
4.K-6
for
adjacent
communities
was
provided
for
informational
purposes,
and
indicates
that
the
adjacent
cities
of
San
Francisco
and
South
San
Francisco
also
have
a
high
ratio
of
jobs
to
population.
Discussion
of
ABAG’s
2009
projections
series
are
provided
in
the
Draft
EIR
because
ABAG’s
more
recent
2013
projections
were
not
adopted
until
after
publication
of
the
Draft
EIR,
which
also
discussed
then-draft
2013
projections.
References
to
ABAG’s
2009
projections
are
deleted
from
the
Final
EIR.
Because
Projections
2013
were
approved
by
ABAG
as
part
of
Plan
Bay
Area
subsequent
to
the
time
of
Draft
EIR
publication,
all
references
to
the
earlier
Projections
2009
are
removed
from
the
EIR.
While
Plan
Bay
Area
represents
the
Bay
Area
region’s
Sustainable
Community
Strategy
and
provides
projections
for
housing,
employment
and
population,
land
use
decisions
within
Brisbane
remain
under
the
City’s
authority.
The
footnote
referred
to
in
the
comment
states
that
ABAG’s
2009
projections
used
a
higher
figure
for
the
Bay
Area’s
population
(as
well
as
the
number
of
households
and
housing
units)
in
2010
than
the
US
Census
actually
measured.
However,
with
the
adoption
of
Plan
Bay
Area
in
2013,
the
2009
projections
have
been
superseded,
and
are
deleted
from
the
Final
EIR.
As
discussed
in
Section
4.K,
Population
and
Housing
,
proposed
development
under
each
of
the
development
scenarios
exceeds
Plan
Bay
Area’s
population
and
employment
projections.
