082 <br /> <br />alternative, <br /> <br />benefits of the Project would be obtained to a lesser <br /> <br /> E. <br /> <br /> (e) Due to the reduced size of this <br />the environmental, economic, social and other <br /> <br />degree. <br /> <br /> Mixed Use Alternative.~ <br /> <br /> (1) Facts. As described on.pages 6-20 through <br />6-~4 of the Draft EIR, the Mixed Use Alternative would provide <br />for 319,227 square feet of office space, a 400-room hotel, <br />33,200 square feet of commercial retail use and a 12,000 square <br />foot restaurant on the Project Site, representing a 60 percent <br />reduction in office space on the Project Site and a 30 percent <br />increase in commercial retail space on the Project Site. This <br />alternative would generate approximately 90 percent of the <br />trip-ends generated by the proposed Project. This alternative <br />would generate more traffic on a daily basis than the proposed <br />project; however, it would generate somewhat less traffic <br />during peak hours. Traffic impacts would be cumulatively <br />significant. There is very little practical difference between <br />the proposed Project and this alternative in noise generation, <br />and air quality impacts of this alternative would be <br />significant on a cumulative basis. This alternative woul~ <br />convert the existing office uses on the Project Site to a mixed <br />use high-tech development, but this alternative is inconsistent <br />with the existing General Plan designation, and would require <br />rezoning. The impact of this alternative on public services <br />and utilities would be similar to the'Project in some <br /> <br /> <br />
