Estimation
of
the
number
of
jobs
that
would
be
created
under
each
development
scenario
is
based
on
the
use
of
commonly
accepted
employment
generation
factors
developed
by
the
Natelson
Company,
which
is
referenced
in
Table
4.K-9
and
included
in
the
References
at
the
end
of
Draft
EIR
Section
4.K,
Population
and
Housing
.
The
Natelson
report
is
available
for
inspection
at
the
Brisbane
Community
Development
Department
during
regular
business
hours.
The
figures
cited
in
Table
4.K-9
represent
the
number
of
jobs
that
are
estimated
to
be
created
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site
for
each
scenario
at
buildout,
which
is
identified
on
page
of
the
Draft
EIR
as
being
20
years.
See
for
a
discussion
of
the
relationship
between
housing
and
employment
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.
As
discussed
on
page
4.F-13,
the
methodology
used
to
analyze
GHG
impacts
recognizes
the
cumulative
nature
of
GHG
emissions.
The
analysis
of
GHG
emissions
in
relation
to
mobile
sources
specifically
accounts
for
the
interrelationships
between
housing
and
employment
as
they
affect
commute
distances
and
resulting
GHG
emissions
from
mobile
sources.
See
for
a
discussion
as
to
how
the
relationship
between
housing
and
employment
opportunities
in
an
area
or
region
affect
average
commute
distances,
which
in
turn
affect
GHG
emissions
from
mobile
sources.
The
significant
unavoidable
impacts
of
proposed
Baylands
development
in
relation
to
traffic
and
air
quality
are
clearly
presented
in
Sections
4.N
and
4.B
of
the
Draft
EIR,
respectively.
The
Candlestick
Point-Hunters
Point
Shipyard
Phase
II
EIR
also
identifies
significant
unavoidable
traffic
and
air
quality
impacts.
The
Draft
EIR
analyzes
the
significant
environmental
impacts
of
proposed
Baylands
development
for
four
concept
plan
scenarios,
as
well
as
a
specific
plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
of
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios.
Economic
effects
and
fiscal
responsibilities
of
proposed
development
are
addressed
in
the
planning
review
being
undertaken
by
the
City
(see
4,
which
discusses
the
relationship
between
the
environmental
and
planning
processes).
See
also
21
for
a
discussion
of
responsibilities
for
the
construction
of
needed
infrastructure
and
maintenance
of
facilities.
As
discussed
21,
new
development
will
be
required
to
pay
for
the
infrastructure
and
equipment
needed
to
support
the
development
of
the
Baylands.
See
regarding
requirements
for
a
public
vote
to
modify
the
City’s
General
Plan.
