b. The DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments will not create conditions that would be detrimental to the public health, safety, or general welfare and would instead enhance the DTPP area by promoting planned, transit -oriented development, including office and residential development, consistent with General Plan goals and policies. The DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments will also revise certain DTPP development standards, guidelines and policies, including those regarding permitted or conditionally permitted land uses; streets and circulation; building placement; minimum building height and massing; parking; historical resources; and open space. The DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments would make policy changes in advance of consideration by the City of the six Gatekeeper development projects to ensure these projects conform to the City's vision for the development of the Downtown and that would be in the public interest. C. Through the certification of the FSEIR and its associated Mitigation, Monitoring, and Reporting Program, nearly all identified impacts associated with the DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments would be mitigated to less than significant levels except for those certain significant and unavoidable impacts for which a Statement of Overriding Considerations has been adopted. The Local Transportation Analysis (LTA) performed as part of the project identified that the street and circulation changes in the DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments would not have any substantial effects on intersection operations.

The DTPP Plan -Wide Amendments will also revise certain DTPP development standards, guidelines and policies, including those regarding permitted or conditionally permitted land uses; streets and circulation; building placement; minimum building height and massing; parking; historical resources; and open space.
