Table 4.I-1 concludes that all four concept plan scenarios provide for these connections through the provision of new roadways, including the proposed Geneva Avenue extension, along with proposed bicycle and pedestrian trails, as well as the potential for a third roadway and pedestrian connection between the Baylands and Central Brisbane. Because of the location of the Baylands to the east of Central Brisbane, only east-west corridors will provide connectivity with Central Brisbane.

[See page 5-348 for the original comment] General Plan Policy 388 applies only to the Beatty Subarea, and requires that any specific plan for the Beatty Subarea “include programs for odor and litter reduction.” Since the boundaries of the Beatty Subarea are coterminous with those of the existing Recology site, General Plan Policy 388 applies only to the Recology facility. The discussion of consistency with General Plan Policy 388 is revised to read as follows.

  DSP/DSP-V CPP/CPP-V
Policy 388: The Specific Plan shall include programs for odor and litter reduction. Consistent Not Applicable. General Plan Policy 388 applies only to the Beatty Subarea (Recology site), which is not a part of the DSP/DSP-V scenarios The Specific Plan for the DSP and DSP-V scenarios contains programs to minimize solid waste generation. Potentially Consistent. Implementation of this policy would occur through a specific plan, which is not proposed at this time for the CPP and CPP-V scenarios.

Discussion of odor generation within the Baylands is provided in the Draft EIR starting page 4.B-9 (existing conditions) and page 4.B-45 (analysis of impacts).

[See page 5-349 for the original comment] The Bayshore Industrial Park consists of metal buildings with roll-up doors that will be demolished and replaced with new uses under each of the proposed development scenarios. These buildings will not therefore need to be shored up or stabilized during construction. Noise from demolition and construction would be generated during daytime hours and may result in elevated exterior noise levels during the noisiest construction phases that may be noticeable to surrounding workers. Since uses within this area are industrial in nature, they are considered noise-tolerant for purposes of CEQA assessment, and would not be impacted during Baylands construction prior to demolition and replacement of existing uses.

[See page 5-349 for the original comment] It is unclear what the comment means by “heavy tamping.” Geotechnical stabilization techniques, such as deep dynamic compaction (i.e., repeatedly dropping a large weight onto the soil) and vibro-
