10.0 Project Alternatives <br />Avion Project SEIR <br />Page 10-3 <br />10.1.2.3 Cultural/Historical Resources <br />No grading or construction activities would occur under the No Project (No Development) <br />Alternative. Consequently, this alternative would not impact any unknown subsurface deposits <br />associated with HJP-3 that could be unearthed during construction. Therefore, impacts related to <br />cultural/historical resources under the No Project (No Development) Alternative would be less than <br />the project. <br />10.1.2.4 Landform Alteration/Visual Quality <br />No grading or construction activities would occur under the No Project (No Development) <br />Alternative. Consequently, this alternative would not alter existing landforms on the project site, <br />including steep hillsides. Therefore, impacts related to landform alteration/visual quality under the <br />No Project (No Development) Alternative would be less than the project. <br />10.1.2.5 Air Quality <br />No construction or blasting activities would occur under the No Project (No Development) <br />Alternative. Consequently, this alternative would not generate construction emissions. Therefore, <br />impacts related to air quality under the No Project (No Development) Alternative would be less than <br />the project. <br />10.1.2.6 Noise <br />No construction or blasting activities would occur under the No Project (No Development) <br />Alternative. Consequently, this alternative would not generate construction noise and vibration that <br />could affect sensitive receptors or the adjacent MHPA. Therefore, impacts related to noise under the <br />No Project (No Development) Alternative would be less than the project. <br />10.1.3 Conclusion Regarding the No Project (No <br />Development) Alternative <br />The No Project (No Development) Alternative would maintain the project site in its current condition. <br />This alternative would preserve the existing environmental setting, and would thereby eliminate all <br />of the project’s impacts. However, the No Project (No Development) Alternative would not provide <br />any of the project’s benefits, including residential development and affordable housing consistent <br />with the adopted Subarea Plan and expansion of the MHPA through a boundary line adjustment <br />that would result in a net increase of 5.06 acres. These benefits would be foregone under this <br />alternative. Furthermore, the No Project (No Development) Alternative would not meet any of the <br />project objectives listed in Section 10.1 above.
