7.3.B. - Page 57 <br /> The City conducted extensive and detailed studies regarding the potential shadow impacts that might result from the <br /> Downtown's expected increases in building heights (EIR Appendix 21.3 -- Supplemental Shadow Analysis <br /> Information). As a result, the DTPP development regulations were developed with the specific intent to avoid <br /> significant shadow impacts (EIR p. 6 -29). Full buildout of the DTPP to the maximum building envelopes allowed by <br /> the Plan's regulations would not cause any shadow - sensitive uses and spaces to be more than 50 percent in shadow <br /> at noon on the Spring Equinox. The impact of the DTPP was considered to be less than significant, and no <br /> mitigations were required. The proposed project is in compliance with all applicable DTPP regulations, and as a <br /> result, no additional shadow impacts are anticipated. <br /> Summary of Impacts <br /> Potentially Less than Significant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Significant No <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> II. AGRICLTLTLTRE RESOURCES - -Would the project: <br /> a) Convert Prime Farmland, Unique Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide X <br /> Importance (Farmland). as shown on the maps prepared pursuant to the <br /> Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program of the California Resources <br /> Agency, to non - agricultural use? <br /> b) Conflict with existing zoning for agricultural use, or a Williamson Act X <br /> contract? <br /> c) Involve other changes in the existing environment which, due to their location X <br /> or nature, could result in conversion of Farmland, to non - agricultural use? <br /> Documentation: <br /> a. No agricultural uses are located in the DTPP area, and the area does not contain any Prime Farmland, Unique <br /> Farmland, or Farmland of Statewide Importance (DTPP program EIR p. 18 -4). The project is located in a built -out <br /> urban environment, and therefore would not convert farmland to a non - agricultural use. No impact would occur as <br /> a result of the proposed project. <br /> b. The project would not conflict with any agricultural zoning use or a Williamson Act contract. There are no such <br /> zoned land uses or Williamson Act contracts in the project vicinity (DTPP program EIR p. 18 -4). Therefore, no <br /> impact would occur as a result of the proposed project. <br /> c. There are no current or planned agricultural activities in the project vicinity. Therefore, no impact would occur as <br /> a result of the proposed project. <br /> Summaiy of Impac <br /> Potentially Less than Significant Less than <br /> Significant With Mitigation Significant No <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> III. AIR QUALITY -- Rould i'•he protect <br /> a) Conflict with or obstruct implementation of the applicable air quality plan?
