The
cumulative
impact
analysis
of
each
environmental
topic
for
the
four
evaluated
project
development
scenarios
determined
whether,
based
on
the
Baylands
development
in
combination
with
other
area
developments,
there
would
be
a
significant
cumulative
impact
without
and
with
the
project
development.
For
certain
environmental
topics,
the
EIR
analysis
concluded
that
the
proposed
Project
Site
development
scenarios
would
significantly
contribute
to
cumulative
environmental
impacts
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Baylands.
Mitigation
measures
for
the
cumulative
contributions
were
evaluated
for
feasibility,
in
addition
to
those
prescribed
in
Chapter
4.0
for
the
project-specific
impacts.
It
will
be
the
City
decision-makers’
responsibility
to
consider
the
whole
of
the
action
represented
by
each
of
the
Baylands
development
scenarios
in
terms
of
potential
significant
project-specific
and
cumulative
impacts,
in
combination
with
other
projects
in
the
vicinity
of
the
Baylands,
and
any
alternative
developments
of
a
smaller
size,
such
as
those
evaluated
in
Chapter
5.0
of
the
Draft
EIR,
in
order
to
reduce
environmental
impacts
after
mitigation.
The
City
will
determine
in
light
of
the
facts
and
analysis
provided
in
the
Final
EIR,
the
planning
review
being
undertaken
by
the
City,
and
public
comment
what
type
and
intensity
of
development
might
be
appropriate
for
the
Baylands.
The
Quimby
Act
(California
Government
Code
Section
66477)
does
not
itself
require
the
provision
of
parkland
by
proposed
development
projects.
The
Act
authorizes
cities
and
counties
to
require
the
dedication
of
land
or
payment
of
fees
for
park
or
recreational
purposes
by
ordinance
and
establishes
a
standard
of
3
to
5
acres
of
parkland
dedication
per
1,000
residents,
depending
on
the
amount
of
existing
parkland
within
a
jurisdiction.
If
a
city
has
existing
dedicated
parkland
in
excess
of
3
acres
of
parkland
for
each
1,000
residents,
the
Quimby
Act
authorizes
agencies
to
adopt
requirements
that
new
development
dedicate
land
or
pay
fees
for
new
parkland
at
a
rate
up
to
5
acres
of
parkland
for
each
1,000
residents
that
would
reside
with
the
proposed
project.
Pursuant
to
the
Quimby
Act,
the
City
of
Brisbane
adopted
an
implementing
ordinance
in
1982
(Ordinance
282,
contained
in
Sections
16.24.010-16.24.070
of
the
Brisbane
Municipal
Code)
that
authorized
the
City
to
require
dedications
to
“provide
for
adequate
and
appropriate
recreational
facilities,”
setting
a
standard
of
4.50
acres
per
1,000
residents.
Thus,
Brisbane
requires
parkland
to
be
dedicated
within
a
proposed
development
project
based
on
the
following
formula:
Anticipated
project
site
residents
÷
1,000
x
4.5
acres
=
required
parkland
dedication
Thus,
if
a
proposed
development
project
were
anticipated
to
have
2,000
residents,
the
required
parkland
dedication
would
be
calculated
as
follows:
