7.B. - Page 16 of 18 Noise and Vibration was analyzed and the EIR found that potential impacts to noise sensitive land uses and areas would be less than significant upon compliance with the policies and programs of the General Plan. General Plan policies and programs minimize the potential impacts of noise by establishing noise level standards, noise regulation enforcement, and limiting hours of operation adjacent to noise sensitive areas. The proposed Zoning Amendment would not have any impacts on noise and vibration. Any future development would result in temporary construction noise and ongoing operational noise. Population and Housing was analyzed and the EIR and found a potential to induce population growth as a result of new employment opportunities. While any potential automobile dealership would likely not provide a significant number of additional jobs over the previous health/fitness club and restaurant uses, such a proposal would undergo its own CEQA analysis in connection with a Conditional Use Permit application. The proposed zoning amendment however would not create an additional impact on Population and Housing. Public Services was analyzed and the EIR found impacts to police, fire protection and emergency access to be less than significant because General Plan policies and programs ensure funding for adequate fire protection and require new development to provide adequate access for emergency vehicles. The Zoning Amendment would not have an effect on public services. Any future development would be reviewed for emergency access requirements. Recreation, Parks, and Open Space was analyzed and the project would result in a less than significant impact because it is not a residential project. Utilities were analyzed and the EIR found impacts to be less than significant except for impacts related to water supply, discussed below. The project would not have an effect on utilities. Future development would be evaluated for utility connections. Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHGs) from land use and transportation were analyzed as well as potential impacts from sea level rise associated with GHGs. Individual projects are required to comply with federal, state, and local regulations related to GHG emissions. The General Plan EIR found that "Although the amount and distribution of allowable development under the New General Plan has the potential to increase population and economic activity within the plan area, thereby potentially resulting in a significantly increased level of GHG emissions, a number of factors within and external to the New General Plan indicate that development allowable under the New General Plan would result in lower GHG emissions per capita relative to existing conditions." Thus, impacts related to GHG emissions are less than significant. The Zoning Amendment does not contribute to GHG emissions. Future development would be analyzed for compliance with CEQA, which may include additional GHG emissions analysis. The General Plan EIR analyzed impacts related to Energy. The General Plan area receives energy from private utilities regulated by federal and state regulatory bodies. The General Page 6 of 8 147
