44 Significant but Mitigable Impacts
• Biological Resources • Cultural Resources & Tribal Cultural Resources • Geology & Soils • Noise
45 Significant & Unavoidable Impacts
• Air Quality Impacts (AQ-1, AQ-2, & AQ-3): Construction & operational emissions that may conflict with or obstruct implementation of SCAQMD’s Air Quality Management Plan & result in adverse impacts to local & regional air quality • Cultural Resources Impact (CUL-1): Projects carried out under the Plan could result in adverse impacts to historic resources 46 Alternatives
• No Project: Continued implementation of the City’s current General Plan• Reduced Growth: Assumes Citywide development would be near the “low range” projections included in the market analysis Reduced Growth Alternative Compared to the Plan

47 Environmentally Superior Alternative
Reduced Growth Alternative: Environmentally superior to both the “Plan” & the “No Project” Alternatives
Because it would reduce growth-related impacts, but it would still retain Plan goals & policies that would help achieve project objectives & reduce environmental impacts However, the Reduced Growth Alternative:
Would still lead to growth
This growth would on average be more dispersed throughout the community because there would be less growth in the Plan’s focus areas

This growth would also still have significant & unavoidable impacts to air quality & historic resources resulting from development carried out under this alternative 48 Alternative’s Relation to Plan Objectives
Reduced Growth Alternative: Would not achieve the Plan objective of attracting & retaining high-wage & high value enterprises & diversifying & increasing the local tax base as well as the Plan because it would not attract or create as many jobs, create as much economic growth, or increase the local tax base to the same extent as the growth accommodated by the Plan. This alternative would also not help meet the City’s RHNA allocation as well as the Plan.

No Project Alternative: Would not include the adjustments in land use, beautification, & place making included in the Plan; would lead to more dispersed development throughout the community; & would therefore not meet the Plan’s objectives related to these improvements. 49 Adoption hearings with Planning Commission & City Council annual review
