9.0 EIR Subject Areas Requiring No Change in Analysis Avion Project SEIR Page 9-11 2. The requirement for recycling bins or containers would be included in the Design Review Guidelines for all projects and the Conditions, Covenants, and Restrictions. 3. Future development will be required to develop a waste reduction/recycling plan addressing both construction phase as well as ongoing project impacts and specifying waste reduction measures that would be incorporated in project design to minimize solid waste impacts. The project would be required to comply with the City’s Recycling Ordinance, and waste would be collected by City haulers. Additionally, the project would comply with Land Development Code Chapter 14, Article 2, Division 8 (Refuse and Recyclable Materials Storage Regulations), as specified in the Design Guidelines. Finally, the project would comply with the project-specific Waste Management Plan (WMP; RECON 2019f, Appendix G). Compliance with City regulations and the approved WMP would ensure that no new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts would result relative to solid waste. The project would not result in any new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts beyond those previously identified in the 1998 EIR. 9.10.8 Electrical Utilities The 1998 EIR concluded that utilities and infrastructure are available to the subarea and no significant adverse impacts to dry or wet utility systems or service would result from buildout of the community. The project is consistent with the land use assumptions and conceptual footprint identified in the 1998; therefore, impacts to electrical facilities would be consistent with those previously identified, and the project would not result in any new significant or substantially increased adverse impacts beyond those previously identified in the EIR. 9.11 Water Conservation/Domestic Water/ Wastewater The 1998 EIR indicates that buildout of the subarea would incrementally increase the demand for domestic water service, and the relatively small increase is not considered a significant impact, particularly since recycled water would be used for landscaping irrigation throughout large portions of the Subarea and conservation measures such as low-flow shower heads and toilets would be incorporated into future developments. Presently, reclaimed water is used everywhere within developed portions of the subarea, except the East Clusters and other areas along Carmel Valley Road to the east of the community park. The project would not be served by reclaimed water because it lacks large common areas necessitating irrigation. Consistent with the conclusions of the 1998 EIR, the project’s contribution to the cumulative impact associated with water supplies would be reduced to a nominal level by the mitigation measures outlined in the 1998 EIR MMRP.
