As
noted
in
this
comment,
subsequent
to
publication
of
the
Draft
EIR,
Plan
Bay
Area,
including
its
updated
housing
and
employment
projections,
was
adopted.
Thus,
references
to
the
now
superseded
Projections
2009
will
be
removed
from
the
Baylands
EIR.
While
the
City
recognizes
that
ABAG
will
be
required
to
update
its
housing
and
employment
projections
in
2017,
it
is
speculative
to
address
what
projections
to
be
prepared
in
the
future
might
show
for
the
Baylands.
As
of
this
date,
the
officially
adopted
housing
and
employment
projections
for
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
are
those
approved
as
part
the
Plan
Bay
Area
Sustainable
Community
Strategy.
The
current
statements
on
Draft
EIR
pages
4.K-32
and
4.K-34
that
exceeding
adopted
employment
projections
is
physically
manifested
in
significant
unavoidable
traffic
and
air
quality
impacts
is
a
correct
and
accurate
assessment.
The
additional
text
suggested
in
this
comment
regarding
intensification
of
a
local
jobs/housing
imbalance
is
unnecessary.
See
Response
UPC
2-15
for
discussion
of
future
(2017)
housing
and
employment
projections.
As
noted
in
Section
4.L.5,
page
4.L-31,
there
is
no
feasible
method
to
accurately
and
quantitatively
measure
demand
for
additional
library
facilities
and
services
in
a
community.
Recent
inter-library
loan
programs
and
expansion
of
internet
research
have
reduced
the
need
for
physical
libraries
to
store
large
collections.
Therefore,
adequate
provision
of
library
services
cannot
be
evaluated
by
measuring
the
collection
size
within
a
specific
branch
against
the
number
of
registered
borrowers
or
per
capita.
As
such,
the
proposed
development
scenarios
were
qualitatively
analyzed
for
potential
impacts
to
existing
library
facilities.
