Appeal Application Nos <br />January 19, 2021 <br />Page 4 <br />2020-03 and 2020-04 — Central Pointe Mixed -Use Development <br />Building A <br />Building B <br />Parking <br />650 spaces (2.00 spaces per unit) <br />650 spaces (2.03 space per <br />unit <br />Open Space/ <br />Ground Level Courtyards 12,650 SF <br />Ground Level Courtyards <br />Amenities <br />Roof Deck 15,961 SF <br />10,271 SF <br />Fitness and Club Room <br />Roof Deck 15,961 SF <br />Fitness and Club Room <br />California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) <br />The 2007 Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay Zone Environmental Impact Report (EIR) No. <br />2006-01 (SCH No. 2006031041) and 2018 Subsequent EIR (SEIR) (collectively, MEMU <br />EIR) anticipated potential development of 5,551 residential units, 963,000 square feet of <br />commercial development, and 690,000 of office development. To date and including the <br />Central Pointe development a total of 2,097 residential units and 38,924 square feet of <br />commercial space has been entitled within the Metro East Mixed -Use Overlay. This <br />leaves capacity for an additional 3,454 residential units, 924,076 square feet of <br />commercial space, and 690,000 square feet of office space. <br />The MEMU EIR analyzed impacts related to aesthetics, agriculture/forestry, air quality, <br />biology, cultural resources, geology/soils, greenhouse gas emissions, hazards and <br />hazardous materials, hydrology and water quality, land use and planning, mineral <br />resources, noise, population/housing, public services, transportation/traffic, tribal cultural <br />resources, and utilities. The MEMU EIR concluded that there would be significant and <br />unavoidable impacts associated with air quality, noise, and transportation/traffic. <br />Along with the approval of the Site Plan Review application the Planning Commission <br />found that pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15162 and 15168, no subsequent EIR <br />would be required as the project is within the scope covered by the program EIR or SEIR <br />and no new environmental document is required. The Central Pointe development is <br />within the allowable land uses, overall planned density and building intensity, and <br />geographic area analyzed for environmental impacts within the MEMU EIR. <br />A traffic impact analysis was prepared for this project by Linscott Law and Greenspan <br />which analyzed the projects impacts on 25 intersections. Of the 25 intersections studied, <br />the intersections of (1) Fourth Street and the 1-5 northbound ramp and (2) Fourth Street <br />and the SR-55 southbound ramp are expected to have a significant impact under 2025 <br />cumulative plus project conditions and 2040 buildout plus project conditions. As such, the <br />off -site improvements listed in the project description above apply to the project to reduce <br />impacts below a level of significance. In addition, a health risk assessment (HRA) was <br />prepared by Urban Crossroads to identify any impacts from developing a residential <br />community near a major freeway. The HRA concluded that a less than significant impact <br />to project residents would occur due to the project's proximity to a major freeway. <br />The Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program of the MEMU EIR applies to the project <br />
