CITY's zoning code would need to be updated to be consistent with the General Plan in order to allow for residential development on the project site. The effects of this change in zoning would be addressed in this section of the Initial Study. 11. Mineral Resources It is anticipated that the project will have no effect on mineral resources. CONSULTANT will provide brief responses to the checklist questions for this topic. 12. Noise The proposed project would generate new vehicle trips in the project vicinity which could lead to an unacceptable increase in noise levels. The project site is also adjacent to Highway 101 which could expose future residents of the site to unacceptable noise levels. CONSULTANT will prepare a noise analysis for the proposed project in response to the Initial Study checklist questions. The noise analysis will include the following components: (1) a description of existing noise conditions in and around the project site (CONSULTANT will rely on Figure 4.10-1 of the IHSP Draft EIR to establish the existing noise environment); (2) a quantitative assessment of noise impacts on sensitive receptors related to project construction and operation; and if required, (3) recommendation of mitigation measures consistent with best practices. 13. Population and Housing While the project would increase the population on site through the construction of additional residential units, it is not expected to result in any significant impacts on population or housing, as the increase in population resulting from the project would not be substantial. Nor would the project result in the displacement of housing or people. CONSULTANT will document the change in population resulting from the project, and provide brief responses to the checklist questions for this topic. 14. Public Services and Recreation Development of the proposed project could create increased demand for public services including fire service, police service, schools, libraries, and recreation. CONSULTANT will determine if the proposed project would result in increased demand for public services to the extent that it could result in new facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts. 15. Transportation/Traffic Fehr & Peers will prepare an initial screening assessment to evaluate the study area and identify potential impacts of the proposed project. This initial screening assessment would be used to prepare a stand-alone transportation impact analysis (TIA) report or EIR section for the Project, if needed. Based on the findings of this assessment CONSULTANT will prepare the Transportation/Traffic section of the Initial Study. The Initial Study section will include an analysis of construction related impacts to local roadways and intersections; transit access and impacts; bicycle and pedestrian impacts; and the long-term generation and distribution of vehicle trips on surrounding streets.
