Comment
identifies
the
proposed
parking
standards
contained
in
the
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
Specific
Plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios.
Off-street
parking
standards
for
each
of
land
use
type
that
might
be
developed
within
the
Baylands
are
set
in
the
City’s
zoning
ordinance.
Should
the
required
Specific
Plan
for
development
within
the
Baylands
request
customized
parking
standards,
the
appropriateness
of
such
standards
will
be
evaluated
as
part
of
the
City’s
planning
review
for
the
Baylands.
No
information
is
provided
in
this
comment
to
support
its
assertions
that
shuttle
service
is
needed
to
address
a
parking
problem.
Onsite
development
within
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
meet
the
parking
standards
established
by
the
City,
provision
of
which
will
ensure
adequate
parking
with
the
Project
site.
The
Draft
EIR
acknowledges
that
additional
transit-related
improvements
may
become
elements
of
a
TDM
program,
including
shuttle
service.
The
need
for
enhancing
transit
facilities
within
the
southerly
portion
of
the
site
or
for
further
concentrating
development
within
the
northern
portion
of
the
site
will
be
considered
in
the
City’s
planning
review
and
decision
making
for
the
Baylands.
The
Draft
EIR
does
not
address
transit
routes
within
the
Baylands,
since
transit
agencies
have
not
defined
future
routes
within
the
Baylands,
and
are
not
likely
to
do
so
until
after
development
is
actually
approved.
While
inadequate
parking
supply
or
alternate
travel
mode
accessibility
can
lead
to
motorists
searching
for
parking,
adding
to
congestion
and
pollution,
as
discussed
in
1,
the
Baylands
EIR
provides
program-level
analyses.
Site-
specific
analysis
will
be
required
to
determine
appropriate
design
and
supply
of
parking
in
order
to
ensure
adequate
roadway
operations
and
accessibility.
ITE
Trip
Generation
is
used
to
estimate
the
number
of
trips
generated
only
by
proposed
uses
within
the
Baylands
Project
site.
Trips
generated
by
other
developments
are
included
in
the
forecasts
of
cumulative
conditions.
See
for
more
information
regarding
development
of
cumulative
conditions.
As
noted
on
page
4.N.73
of
the
Draft
EIR,
pass-by
trips
were
considered
in
total
trip
generation.
Because
pass-by
trips
are
already
on
the
roadway
network,
they
are
not
counted
as
trip
generation
for
Project
Site
development.
The
comment
requests
that
pass-by
trips
be
increased,
but
this
would
result
in
lower
trip
generation
at
the
study
intersections,
leading
to
a
less
conservative
analysis.
