Alternative 3. This alternative would generally meet most of the project objectives, but would meet <br />Objective 6 (to provide a diversity of uses) to a lesser degree than the proposed project. <br />Refer to Section 6, Alternatives, for the complete alternatives analysis. <br />Areas of Known Controversy <br />The City identified the following major areas of known controversy for the proposed Specific Plan <br />through the EIR scoping process: traffic congestion, crime, noise, and parking. Responses to the <br />Notice of Preparation of a Draft EIR and input received at the EIR scoping meeting held by the City <br />are summarized in Section 1, Introduction. <br />Issues to be Resolved <br />Issues to be resolved include the City’s decision makers’ choice among the alternatives, and <br />whether or how to mitigate the identified significant effects. <br />Issues Not Studied in Detail in the EIR <br />As detailed in Section 4.15, Effects Found Not to Be Significant, there is no substantial evidence that <br />significant impacts would occur related to Agricultural Resources and Mineral Resources. Section <br />4.15 also addresses other issue areas that are less than significant and not studied in detail in this <br />EIR. <br />Summary of Impacts and Mitigation Measures <br />Table 1 summarizes the environmental impacts of the proposed Specific Plan, proposed mitigation <br />measures, and residual impacts (the impact after application of mitigation, if required). Impacts are <br />categorized as follows: <br /> Significant and Unavoidable. An impact that cannot be reduced to below the threshold level <br />given reasonably available and feasible mitigation measures. Such an impact requires a <br />Statement of Overriding Considerations to be issued if the project is approved per CEQA <br />Guidelines Section 15093. <br /> Less than Significant with Mitigation Incorporated. An impact that can be reduced to below the <br />threshold level given reasonably available and feasible mitigation measures. Such an impact <br />requires findings under CEQA Guidelines Section 15091. <br /> Less than Significant. An impact that may be adverse, but does not exceed the threshold levels <br />and does not require mitigation measures. <br /> No Impact. A finding of no impact is made when the analysis concludes that the proposed <br />project would not affect the particular environmental resource or issue. <br /> <br />67
