5 impacts, mitigation measures, and alternatives related to the City’s plans for future development of the Downtown area. Accordingly, the task at hand is to determine whether the project proposed for 1409 El Camino Real requires further environmental review beyond that which was provided by the DTPP program EIR. The following Initial Study has been prepared for this task. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Sections 15168, 15162, and 15163 (Program EIRs and Subsequent and Supplemental EIRs), it analyzes whether there are any new significant environmental effects not identified in the DTPP EIR or substantial increases in the severity of any previously identified significant effects. It also analyzes whether further environmental review is required pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15183 (Projects Consistent With a Community Plan or Zoning). The Initial Study and Exhibit A also examines whether the scope of any further review can be limited under Section 15183.3 (Streamlining for Infill Projects). 9. Surrounding Land Uses and Setting The project site is in the southern portion of the DTPP area, identified in the DTPP as the El Camino Corridor zone. The site is surrounded to the north across Diller Street by a single-story auto repair shop and adjacent parking lot (to be replaced by the approved 1305 El Camino Real residential project with 137 residential units), and a surface parking lot serving the AT&T building across Wilson Street (farther north). To the east across Franklin is the 299 Franklin residential development project with 305 residential units. To the south and on the same block are a two-plus-story public storage facility with surface parking near Franklin, and a five-story building (with a ground floor bike shop and four stories of public storage space) near El Camino Real. To the west across El Camino Real are various single-story retail and other buildings with parking (south of Madison Avenue, a check cashing store, nail salon, and auto muffler shop; north of Madison Avenue, a donut store, a cycle shop, and "The Record Man," which is a DTPP- identified historic building).
