anal~ed in FEIR 96-01 and wouki not substantiallyificrease the severity of aesthetic impact or'~hade or shadow impact identified ia FE1R 96-01, in that the increased development area allowed under the proposed project would be designed to avoid potential aesthetic impacts. Additimally, no new information has been made available since preparatim of FEIR 96-01 that would adversely affect the aesthetic impact anal~sis, effecti',eness of mitigntion measures, and the en~iromnental determinations made in FEIR 96-01. Public Health and Safety. Hazards Potential project related and cumulative public health'and safetyimpacts associated with the implementation of the DSC project were adequatelyevaluated in FEIR 96-01. FE[R. 96~01 determined that implementation of the DSC project would not result in any significant public health and safety impacts. Mitigation was added to the project to avoid any potential effects fran use of uncontrolled hazardous materials. The proposed project would not result in newpublic health and safetyimpacts beyond the impacts pre'~iously analyzed in FEIR 96-01 and would not substantial lyincrease the severity of any public health and safetyimpact identified in FEIR 96-01, in that the proposed project would not involve any activities that xmuld subjec~ the public topublic health and safetyimpacts. Additionally, no new information has been made available since preparatkn of FEIR 96-01 that would adversely affect the public health and safetyimpact analysis and environmental determinations made in FEIR 96-01. Relationship Bet~veen Short-Term Uses of the Environment and the Maintenance and Enhancement of Lon~Term Productivity/Significant Improvements Environmental Changes FEIR 96-01 analyzed the DSC project% relationship between short-term uses of the environment and the maintenance and enhancement of long term productivity of the environment. FEI~ 96-01 found that the proposed project would also result in longqerm impacts that affect rnly the site and ha,,e no off-site ramifications. These would include building the parking structure in the floodplain and having patrons subjected to noise from the I-5 Freexvay. The proposed project would contribute cumulatively to air emissions and area traffic, bah of ;vhich would not be able lobe completelymltigated and could have a long-term impact on air quality. FEII~. 96-01 determined that DSC provided a balance bet',~,een short-term use of the land and the ling term maintenance and enhancement of the environment. The increased dexelopment area allowed on DSC Phase II would not result in additional impacts beyond the impacts previously analyzed in FEIR 96-01 and would not increase the severity of any impact identified in FEIR 96-01. Irreversible and Irretrievable Commitments of Energy/Significant Irreversible Environmental Changes FEIR 96-01 determined that the de,,elopment of DSC'would not result in the irre;ersible and irret~emble commitments of enact. Implementation of the project would modifyexistingstructures, and new structures xmuld be built. Additionally, the site would be paved and traffic circulatim improvements added. Implementation of the project also represents a long-term commitment of the land to a museum type use conmfitment, of energy resources, in the form of fossil fuels and natural ~s for center construction Ordinance No. Ng-24.q7 __ H:kROal~ClLES¥~mcnd I d~c r¢~-l.dcc ~03/07~2~, Page 41 of 49 pa~¢ 9 of 17 ....
