about 1 00 feet off the extended runway centerline.. The downwind leg of the <br />traffic pattern is typically flown from 1,000 to 3,000 feet abeam the runway. <br />This would place the building within the inner portion of the traff c p after. The <br />outer portion of the pattern would be over the noise sensitive area of Redwood <br />Shores. The pattern altitude .in either case is 800 feet MSL, and the bu ilding <br />location would have no effect. <br />(c) Radar data from the San Francisco International Airport .PAS.SUR system <br />for runway 30 operations during fair weather :show that the majority of downwind <br />operations take place .in a band 3,000 to 5,500 feet abeam the runway Run <br />y <br />12 operations under 'inclement weather generally take place in .a band of from <br />2,500 to 5,500 feet abeam the runway, and at altitudes of from 500 to 700 feet. <br />Under these conditions, the location and height of the building would have no <br />effect whatsoever on the location of the traffic pattern or noise abatement <br />procedures. <br />4.0 FE"#MINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES <br />461 Introduction <br />CEQA .requires an EIR to consider a reasonable range of alternatives to a proposed <br />project or to the locat o the proposed project. The.se� alternatives must ` f easi bly <br />attain most of the basic o bj ectives of the prof ect" and must "avoid or substantially le ssen <br />any of the significant effects of the project." (CEQA Guidelines, .§ 151 26.(d).) "Feasible" <br />means that the alternatives ".are capable of being accomplished in a successful manner <br />within a reasonable period of time, taking into account economic, environmental, legal, <br />social and technological factors.' (CEQA Guidelines, § 1:5.364.) <br />4, Objectives of the Prect <br />The City hereby finds that the obj ectives of the Project are as follows: <br />1. To 'implement the City's general Plan and Zomng Code by developing an <br />office complex on property designated for office use by the City; <br />2. To create an inform campus office enviromment through the placement and <br />massing of buildings and landscaping; and <br />3 . To minim ze impacts on adjacent properties, in particular adjacent residential <br />uses. <br />- 29. <br />.NoP � . Doc <br />5/30195 1 0:51 AM <br />
