Utilities and Service Systems. A Potable Water and Sanitary Sewer analysis will be conducted by Fuscoe Engineering (see task 1.6), and findings will be integrated into the EIR section. Service letter questionnaires will also be sent to the City's water, wastewater, solid waste, natural gas, and electricity providers for existing and future capacities to determine whether buildout of the General Plan Update could be accommodated. PlaceWorks will incorporate the findings into this section of the EIR. As required by CEOA, PlaceWorks will also address potential Energy impacts pursuant to Appendix F. Energy will be addressed in a separate section, "Other CEOA Considerations." Consideration of Significant Effects. As required by CEQA, the EIR will identify the significant effects of the project and include the following discussions, as required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.2: • Effects Found Not to Be Significant • Significant Unavoidable Impacts • Significant Irreversible Changes • Growth -Inducing Impacts Alternatives to the Proposed Project. EIR project alternatives are particularly helpful to decision makers for projects that include general plan updates. Our scope is based on the evaluation of up to three alternatives, including the No Project Alternative. In compliance with CEQA, the EIR is required to address a reasonable range of alternative that are defined and analyzed on the basis of their ability to: 1) avoid or reduce one or more of the project's significant impacts, and 2) feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project. Ourteam's expertise in design and planning provides a unique opportunity to create alternatives that address potential environmental issues, including air quality, traffic, noise, and land use compatibility issues. We will coordinate with the City and project team members to craft meaningful alternatives with the potential to reduce or eliminate significant impacts (if any). Likely land use alternatives may be based on previous alternatives considered by the GPAG or based on comments during the scoping process. Alternatives considered but eliminated from further consideration will also be documented. The environmentally superior alternative will be identified; if it is the No Project Alternative, then one of the other alternatives will be identified as environmentally superior to the others.
