VII. FINDINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROPOSED PROJECT Section 15126(d) of the State CEQA Guidelines requires that EIRs describe a ,'range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project, which could feasibly attain the basic objectives of the Project, and evaluate the comparative merits of the alternatives.' Four alternatives to the proposed project were identified: (1) No-Project Alternative, (2) Mixed-Use Retail/Office Alternative, (3) Reduced Intensity Alternative, and (4) Mixed Use ~ Retail and Multi-Screen Theater Alternative. The.~ four alternatives are discussed below. Alternative locations for the project were also evaluated. In the initial stages of EIR preparation, the City identified and considered two alternative sites for the project but ruled them out as infeasible. The first, a 5.91 acre parcel at the comer of First Street and Golden Circle, is a vacant lot used to grow strawbemes. The second site is a 9.7 acre site located on Fourth Street at the I-5 Freeway. Both sites were dismissed from consideration early in the process because both were too small to accommodate the SCS3626 -31-
