period,
the
network
changes
associated
with
those
projects
are
assumed
to
occur
over
the
same
time
period.
For
purposes
of
analyzing
cumulative
impacts
of
Baylands
development
along
with
development
of
major
projects
in
the
surrounding
area,
it
is
assumed
that
the
roadway
network
changes
required
for
the
projects
cited
in
Response
would
occur.
Draft
EIR
Figures
4.N-9
and
4.N-
10
have
been
updated
in
response
to
this
comment
as
shown
in
Final
EIR
Figures
4.N-9
and
4.N-10
.
The
discussion
of
proximity
to
transit
and
likelihood
of
transit
use
discusses
greater
propensity
for
uses
up
to
1/3-mile
versus
¼-
to
½-mile.
The
¼-
and
½-mile
buffers
shown
in
Figure
4.N-
15
were
intended
to
convey
distance
from
the
Caltrain
Station
to
surrounding
Project
Site
development
land
uses
and
do
not
contradict
the
research
on
transit
walking
tolerances
described
on
page
4.N-59
and
page
4.N-60.
The
existing
rail
spurs
serving
the
existing
lumberyards
would
be
removed,
and
new
spurs
would
be
constructed
to
serve
the
lumber
yards
along
the
west
side
of
the
Caltrain
line
south
of
the
existing
lumberyards.
Draft
EIR
Figure
4.N-17
has
been
updated
to
illustrate
the
extent
of
existing
Caltrain
tracks,
as
shown
in
Final
EIR
Figure
4.N-16
.
The
jobs-housing
linkage
reference
on
page
4.N-66
is
a
potential
TDM
program
whereby
large
employers
would
“offer
relocation
assistance
to
employees
who
agree
to
become
Brisbane
residents.”
The
reference
does
not
presume
housing
within
the
Baylands,
only
that
large
employers
would
provide
incentives
for
their
employees
to
move
closer
to
their
jobs,
and
live
within
the
Brisbane
city
limits.
The
parking
strategies
identified
on
page
4.N-69
refer
only
to
the
DSP
and
DSP
scenarios
that
proposed
housing
within
the
Baylands.
As
discussed
in
Response
“podium
parking”
refers
to
a
semi-subterranean
or
above
ground
parking
structure
built
as
an
integral
part
of
a
multi-story
commercial,
mixed-use,
or
residential
building
that
forms
the
base
of
a
residential,
mixed-use,
or
commercial/office
building.
