Public
transportation
and
recreation
are
addressed
in
Sections
4.N
and
4.M
of
the
Draft
EIR,
respectively.
The
methodology
used
to
project
calls
for
service
within
the
Baylands
was
determined
in
conjunction
with
the
Brisbane
Police
Department,
and
represents
the
best
judgment
of
the
Police
Department
as
to
the
number
of
calls
for
service
that
would
result
from
proposed
Baylands
development
under
each
of
the
four
development
scenarios.
The
Draft
EIR
clearly
states
that
development
within
the
Baylands
other
than
expansion
or
relocation
of
an
existing
facility
would
stretch
the
existing
capabilities
of
the
Brisbane
Police
Department
beyond
the
point
that
its
current
one
beat
system
could
maintain
adequate
response
times.
Thus,
as
stated
on
page
4.L-6
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
specific
plan
for
development
of
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
provide
for
establishment
of
a
new
24/7
officer
shift
(for
all
development
scenarios)
and
one
civilian
daytime
shift
(for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios)
prior
to
issuance
of
the
first
certificate
of
occupancy
for
any
development
other
than
expansion
or
relocation
of
an
existing
facility.
In
addition,
construction
and
provision
of
a
storefront
police
substation
would
be
required.
The
distances
provided
are
straight-
line
measurements
from
the
Baylands
boundary.
The
purpose
of
the
information
set
forth
in
Table
4.L-3,
is
to
describe
baseline
conditions
as
to
where
existing
library
facilities
are
in
approximate
relation
to
the
Baylands.
The
EIR
analysis
of
impacts
to
library
services
does
not
rely
on
travel
distance
and
travel
times
to
reach
existing
libraries,
but
focuses
on
whether
additional
library
facilities
are
needed
to
accommodate
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands.
Social
and
economic
effects
of
a
proposed
development
(e.g.,
specific
needs
of
lower
income
residents)
are
not
required
for
analysis
under
CEQA,
unless
the
social
or
economic
effects
of
a
particular
action
(proposal)
would
cause
physical
impacts
on
the
environment
(CEQA
Guidelines
Section
15130).
The
information
in
the
environmental
setting
for
library
services
in
Draft
EIR
Section
4.L,
Public
Services
,
regarding
inter-library
loan
capabilities
is
intended
to
provide
baseline
information
about
the
current
library
system
and
facilities
to
form
the
basis
for
analysis
to
assess
what
significant
impacts
may
occur
from
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands.
It
is
not
anticipated
that
proposed
development
would
cause
a
substantial
increase
in
volume
of
inter-library
loans
such
that
a
physical
impact
under
CEQA
would
result,
particularly
with
the
myriad
of
options
available
for
obtaining
information
via
internet
research.
