Impact
4.N-7,
starting
on
page
4.N-135
provides
the
actual
evaluation
of
Baylands
development-related
impacts
on
Muni
services.
The
Draft
EIR
states
on
page
4.N-39:
“trips
associated
with
Project
Site
development
would
contribute
to
total
transit
volumes
exceeding
Muni’s
capacity
threshold
of
85
percent
at
the
Northeast
and
Southeast
screenlines
(based
on
the
Year
2030
transit
volumes
and
capacities
at
those
screenlines
as
described
in
the
CPHPS
EIR),”
and
concludes
that
the
impact
of
all
four
Site
development
scenarios
would
be
significant
and
unavoidable.
The
Draft
EIR
further
concludes
on
page
4.N-140
that
all
four
development
scenarios
would
contribute
to
cumulatively
significant
impacts
on
Muni
operations
at
San
Francisco
transit
screenline
locations
and
would
result
in
significant
unavoidable
impacts
on
San
Francisco
Muni
transit
service
along
the
Geneva
Avenue
corridor.
The
comment
is
correct
that
should
the
proposed
transit
expansions
described
in
Section
4.N,
Traffic
and
Circulation
,
pages
4.N-53
through
4.N-58
not
occur,
development
of
the
Baylands
would
result
in
more
vehicle
trips
than
forecast
in
the
analysis.
Should
the
proposed
transit
improvements
described
on
pages
4.N-53
through
4.N-58
not
be
implemented
at
a
pace
equal
or
greater
than
that
of
Baylands
Project
Site
development,
site-specific
development
proposals
within
the
Baylands
could
not
be
approved
in
reliance
of
the
traffic
analysis
contained
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR.
In
such
a
case,
updated
traffic
analyses
and
mitigation
measures
would
be
required
prior
to
the
approval
of
subsequent
site-specific
development
proposals
within
the
Baylands.
See
and
for
information
on
the
inclusion
of
future
development
in
the
Baylands
traffic
analysis.
Analysis
of
“existing”
conditions
represents
current
traffic
volumes
and
the
addition
of
Baylands
development-generated
traffic
to
current
volumes.
Thus,
analysis
of
existing
and
existing
plus
project
conditions
does
not
include
any
future
development.
Future
development
from
proposed
and
approved
projects
surrounding
the
Baylands
is,
however,
included
in
the
analysis
of
“cumulative”
conditions.
The
last
paragraph
on
page
4.N-84
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
The
number
of
person
trips
made
by
spectators
to
the
proposed
arena
in
the
DSP-V
scenario
was
analyzed
for
a
special
event.
Trip
generation
was
estimated
based
on
the
proposed
17,000
seats
and
a
sell-out
condition.
The
arena
would
be
used
for
theater
productions,
concerts,
speaking
engagements,
educational
events,
or
sporting
events.
Although
no
specific
program
has
been
developed
for
events
at
the
arena,
Iit
is
anticipated
