Summarized below is our approach to key environmental issues to be addressed in sections 5.0 of the EIR Land Use, Planning and Zoning The Land Use, Planning and Zoning discussion will be the first impact topic to be addressed in the EIR. This will allow the reader to be easily acquainted with the project. The other analyses will follow in a logical manner from the base established in the Land Use, Planning and Zoning section. The land use analysis will describe existing plans and policies that affect the project site. The land use section will address any proposed changes to land use designations, zones, development intensity, and infrastructure. The analysis shall address compatibility with adjacent land uses and intensities of development with particular emphasis on the transition between the proposed land uses and adjacent existing land uses. As such, the EIR will include a plan-to-plan and plan-to-ground analysis. Aesthetics This section of the EIR will address both existing and potential visual quality effects of the project, especially as it relates to community character. In addition, the EIR will address the visual impact of the proposed project from public vantage points. The project site is highly visible form a variety of public view shed areas. Noise DEA will incorporate the results of the noise analysis prepared by Giroux and Associates to evaluate the impacts of the proposed project. This section of the EIR will address the ambient noise environment of the prop,:rty and assess potential impacts associated with short-term construction and vehicular impacts upon surrounding uses. Noise impacts will be related to the established City performance standards, and appropriate mitigation measures provided if necessary. The Noise analysis prepared for the project will include: . Development of a baseline noise exposure profile in terms of the CNEL noise metric using the FHW A Model with the latest California vehicle noise curves (CAL VENa). . Preparation of a no-project versus with-project mobile noise impact comparison, including any viable project alternative development scenarios. Identify specific sensitive receiver locations where mobile source noise impacts may adversely affect project vicinity residents. This would analysis would include a review of noise generated by truck trips to and from the project site and noise generated by the proposed on-site tire center. . Evaluation stationary noise impacts from temporary on-site construction noise sources. . Relate project noise impacts to the Noise Element noise/land use compatibility guidelines in the city of Redwood City General Plan Noise Element and/or other applicable noise exposure regulations. . Development of a noise impact mitigation plan for any predicted noise impacts that exceed target noise exposure limits. ".,""""""--Y-<-"""""
