Ill. CONCLUSION
Local 11 appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments. We respectfully request the City reject the Project Approvals until the issues discussed herein are resolved in a CEQA· compliant review that adequately analyzes and mitigates the Project's GHG and VMT impacts. There is a fair argument of CEQA impacts. This Project is expected to generate over 3 million annual VMTs, which is far too big for a MND. An EIR should be prepared. Lastly, this office requests alf notices concerning any CEOA/land use actions involving the Project and Project Approvals, as required under applicable law. (See Pub. Res. Code§§ 21092.2, 21167(f) and Gov. Code§ 65092.) Please send all notices by electronic and regular mail.
Thank you for consideration of these comments. We ask that this letter be placed in the Project's administrative record.
Sincerely,
Jordan R. Sisson, Esq.
Attorney for UNITE HERE Local 11
