Page 59 of 65 Specific Plan EIR. In most cases and as necessary for CEQA purposes, the SEIR will reproduce graphics from the documents prepared to support the Development Plan. If the CEQA evaluation reveals a new significant environmental impact or a substantial increase in the severity of a previously identified significant impact, or if a new or revised mitigation measure is identified which is considerably different from those identified in the certified Specific Plan EIR, this new information will be identified in the Supplemental EIR as a “supplemental impact” or “supplemental mitigation,” as distinguished from a Specific Plan EIR certified EIR impact and certified EIR mitigation. MIG also will consult with City staff to identify, if necessary, Development Plan alternatives that would avoid or reduce any new or substantially more severe significant impacts identified in the Supplemental EIR compared to the certified Specific Plan EIR. Alternatives might include a No Project alternative and up to two other alternatives (CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6). Based on the outcome of the Supplemental EIR impact analyses, a new alternatives evaluation might not be necessary. The alternatives discussion will be a distinct chapter in the Supplemental EIR. The EIR will also include discussion of other CEQA required assessments including Significant Unavoidable Impacts, Growth Inducement, Effects Found Less than Significant, Significant Irreversible Commitment of Resources, and Cumulative Impacts. Please note: this proposal does not include an evaluation of the consistency of the proposed Specific Plan revisions with the various elements of the City’s General Plan. In conformance with CEQA Guidelines Appendix G, the Supplemental EIR will discuss the proposed Specific Plan Update’s consistency with applicable General Plan policies, in response to the following Appendix G and Specific Plan EIR significance criterion: “Would the Development Plan cause a significant environmental impact due to a conflict with any land use plan, policy, or regulation adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigating an environmental effect?” Development Plan -Specific Technical Analyses MIG staff would prepare the following technical analyses and incorporate the work into the Supplemental EIR. Air Quality The Supplemental EIR air quality analysis would describe any changes to the existing local and regional air quality conditions in the Specific Plan area and vicinity; to the federal, State, and Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) regulations potentially applicable to the updated Specific Plan; and to General Plan and Specific Plan policies and components intended to reduce impacts during Specific Plan implementation. MIG anticipates that much of the existing setting description from the 2017 Specific Plan EIR would remain relevant since the EIR was certified approximately six years ago (in 2017) and there have not been substantial changes to the air quality setting of the Specific Plan area.
