residential tower with two, 2-story office buildings, and a reduced <br />density alternative. <br /> <br />A. NO PROJECT ALTERNATIVE (ALTERNATIVE A) <br /> <br />1. FINDING: <br /> <br />Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible <br />the mitigation measures or project alternative identified in the <br />EIR. <br /> <br />2. FACTS IN [~UPPORT OF THE FINDING: <br /> <br />Under the No Project alternative, the project site would retain its <br />existing use. The site would continue to accommodate Polly's Pies, <br />but the two single-family residences, which have been removed to <br />allow for the planned expansion of Owens Drive, would no longer be <br />on the site. <br /> <br />The No Project alternative would not result in the adverse <br />environmental effects identified in the Revised Draft EIR. <br />However, the present usage of the site would remain inconsistent <br />with the City's designation of the site as DC (District Center). <br />The city's increased housing goals would riot be met, and increased <br />job opportunities would not be met. Roadway improvements <br />associated with the project may not be implemented. No pedestriaI~ <br />links or improvements would be developed at the site, nor would <br />transportation facilities or traffic controls be provided to the <br />site. Upgrading and improvements to Santiago Park would not be <br />realized. Finally, the No Project alternative would result in no <br />new housing, no new cinema, no hotel, and no retail and office <br />space. <br /> <br />[Revised Draft EIR, pp. 6-4 to 6-9] <br /> <br />REDUCED DENSITY GARDEN OFFICE ALTERNATIVE <br />(ALTERNATIVE B) <br /> <br />FINDINGS <br /> <br />Specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible <br />the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the <br />EIR. <br /> <br />2.
