The proposed project meets all the defined project objectives. The Town Home Alternative meets all but one of the project objectives. Both the No Project Alternatives fail to meet any of the defined project objectives. However, the No Project/Existing Conditions Alternative does avoid all the significant adverse impacts of the proposed project and other project alternatives because site conditions would remain as they currently exist. Although the No Project/Existing Entitlements Alternative fails to meet any of the defined project objectives, the impacts of this Alternative would be substantially less than the impacts under the proposed project. This is because this Alternative would result in a substantial reduction of development on the project site. Therefore, this Alternative would eliminate the significant unavoidable adverse impacts associated with the proposed project and would result in substantially less impacts than under the proposed project. 6.5 ENVIRONMENTALLY SUPERIOR ALTERNATIVE Section 15126.6(e)(2) of the CEQA Guidelines requires that an EIR identify the environmentally superior alternative. If the No Project Alternative is the environmentally superior alternative, the EIR must identify an environmentally superior alternative among the remaining alternatives. As shown in Table 9-l, the proposed project is anticipated to result in significant unavoidable adverse impacts related to: h': I PROJ-ENVI City Place Sky Loftsl Final EIRI Findings-SOCI Findings-SOC. doc Page 30 Januarv 23, 2009 75A-140
