JT PH CC-CRA Station District Phase I <br /> June 7, 2010 <br /> Page 7 <br /> Proiect Alternatives Considered in the EIR <br /> The EIR evaluated six alternatives to the Transit Zoning Code and the Developer Project in EIR <br /> Chapter 5 -Alternatives. These alternatives are briefly summarized below. Alternatives 1, 2, and <br /> 3 are primarily designed to address alternatives to the Transit Zoning Code as a whole. <br /> Alternatives 4, 5, and 6 present alternatives specific to the proposed Developer Project. <br /> Alternative 1 (No Project/No Development Alternative): Under this Alternative, the Transit Zoning <br /> Code would not be adopted and the City's existing General Plan and zoning designations would <br /> continue to guide future growth and development within the Transit Zoning Code project area. <br /> Additionally, the proposed Developer Project would not go forward on the Agency-owned <br /> properties. <br /> Alternative 2 (Overall Reduced Density): This Alternative would reduce the intensity of all <br /> anticipated land uses within the Transit Zoning Code area by 25 percent. In general, this <br /> alternative would reduce the number of residences, including affordable housing, and reduce <br /> employment opportunities as a result of less commercial uses in the area. <br /> Alternative 3 (Low-Rise Alternative): This alternative is a low- to mid-rise version of the Transit <br /> Zoning Code (SD 84A and SD 84B), which would limit building heights in the Downtown and <br /> Transit Village Districts to four stories. <br /> Alternative 4 (No Demolition of Agency Properties/Rehabilitate in Place): This alternative would <br /> eliminate the demolition of structures on the fourteen Agency-owned parcels within the Station <br /> District that are slated for demolition under the proposed Developer Project and instead require <br /> that those properties be retained and rehabilitated in their current locations. Additionally, the <br /> City/Agency would not acquire any of additional parcels within the Station District. Upon <br /> completion of rehabilitation, the rehabilitated houses would be offered for-sale as low or moderate <br /> income housing. The proposed Transit Zoning Code would remain the same under this Alternative. <br /> Alternative 5 (No Demolition of Agency Properties/Relocate to Agency-Owned Infill <br /> Sites/Rehabilitate in Place): This alternative would eliminate the demolition on the fourteen <br /> Agency-owned parcels within the Station District that are slated for demolition under the proposed <br /> Developer Project, with the exception of the property located at 611 N. Minter Street, which would <br /> be demolished. The remaining properties would be rehabilitated in place or moved to vacant lots <br /> and rehabilitated. <br /> <br /> Alternative 6 (Rehabilitate 611 N. Minter Street in Place): This alternative would be identical to the <br /> proposed Developer Project, with the exception that the bungalow court located at 611 N. Minter <br /> 80A-7 <br /> <br />
