9.B - Page 11 Table 2, provided in Attachment 2 of this staff report, summarizes the site proposed site development regulations for commercial floor area and residential density. A complete site development regulation table, including height, setbacks, and other standards is provided in Attachment 3. Table 2 also includes a comparison of the IHSP regulations in the IH-1 and IH-2 land use areas, which would allow the highest development intensities, with similar existing zone districts located throughout the City. The table illustrates that the proposed IHSP floor areas and densities are generally in-line with similar existing districts. For example, the IH-2 floor area standard, a maximum FAR of 1.0 with bonus, is consistent with the Commercial Park (CP) zone district. CP zoned areas include the Pacific Shores Center at the end of Seaport Road and Seaport Center at Chesapeake Drive and Seaport Road. Traffic Impacts As described above, the Draft EIR identifies potential significant impacts. All can be mitigated to Less Than Significant levels in conformance with applicable standard measures and project-level mitigation measures except for the significant unavoidable Transportation and Traffic impacts. The same is true for impacts related to the Harbor View Place Project. However, a greater number intersections would be considered have significant and unavoidable impacts. Council should be aware that even the No Project alternative, which allows growth through the existing General Plan, would still generate significant and avoidable impacts at studied intersections. The charts in Attachment 4 illustrate the intersection impacts surrounding the Inner Harbor area: • Figure 1: Existing Conditions • Figure 2: Conditions in 2040, without the IHSP • Figure 3: Conditions in 2040, with the IHSP • Figure 4: Conditions in 2040, with the IHSP and with mitigations including the construction of the 101/84 interchange project Figure 4 illustrates intersection improvements with the construction of the 101/84 interchange improvement project. In 2040 some intersections would operate an acceptable levels, while others would operate at unacceptable levels. This is generally consistent with the findings from the recently released US Highway 101/SR 84 Interchange Improvement Project Initial Study with Proposed Negative Declaration/Environmental Assessment document.
