Individual
Responses
to
Comments
from
Organizations
The
comment
does
not
raise
any
significant
environmental
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
The
Draft
EIR
draws
no
conclusions
as
to
whether
any
scenario
or
alternative
is
more
or
less
“palatable”
than
any
other
scenario
or
alternative.
As
required
by
CEQA,
the
Draft
EIR
identifies
and
discusses
the
impacts
of
each
alternative,
and
includes
sufficient
information
such
that
these
impacts
may
be
compared
to
those
of
the
proposed
Project
site
development
scenarios.
A
table
comparing
each
alternative
to
the
scenarios
and
other
alternatives
is
provided
in
Chapter
3.0
of
the
Final
EIR.
A
table
comparing
each
alternative
to

of
the
Final
EIR.
All
development
within
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
meet
Title
24,
Brisbane
Municipal
Code
requirements,
and
applicable
EIR
mitigation
measures.
Should
the
City
Council
select
one
of
the
alternatives
set
forth
in
Chapter
5
of
the
Draft
EIR,
all
feasible
mitigation
will
be
required
to
mitigate
the
impacts
of
that
alternative.
Table
6-1
has
been
updated,
and
can
be
found
in
Chapter
3.0
of
the
Final
EIR.
Widening
of
the
US
101
freeway
is
not
proposed
as
part
of
Baylands
development
nor
is
it
within
the
purview
of
the
City
of
Brisbane
to
require
or
implement
such
a
measure.
Thus,
the
impacts
of
such
widening
have
not
been
analyzed
in
the
Baylands
EIR.
There
are
no
reasonably
foreseeable
future
plans
to
widen
the
freeway
by
the
agencies
with
jurisdiction,
and
such
widening
has
therefore
not
been
included
as
a
cumulative
project
in
Chapter
6.
With
the
adoption
of
the
projections
contained
in
Plan
Bay
Area
by
ABAG
subsequent
to
the
release
to
the
Draft
EIR,
Projections
2009
have
been
superseded,
and
therefore
stricken
from
the
Final
EIR.
The
projections
from
Plan
Bay
Area
were
analyzed
parallel
to
Projections
2009,
and
are
therefore
included
in
the
Draft
EIR.
The
cumulative
analysis
in
Chapter
6
addresses
each
of
the
impacts
where
proposed
Baylands
development
was
determined
in
Chapter
4
to
result
in
some
impact,
whether
significant
or
less
than
significant,
but
does
not
address
the
cumulative
effects
related
to
environmental
effects
where
the
Draft
EIR
concluded
that
proposed
Baylands
development
would
have
no
impact.
Issues
for
which
Baylands
development
was
determined
to
have
less
than
significant
or
significant
unavoidable
impacts
are
thus
