<br /> 2. THE SEIR DID NOTEVALUATE A SPECIFIC HOTEL USE
<br /> During the Planning Commission hearing, Planning staff suggested that hotels were
<br /> evaluated under the SEIR.21 However,the Draft SEIR project description looked at 1,583 residential
<br /> units (encompassing approximately 1,850,000 square feet of building space),80,000 square feet of
<br /> retail space, and 300,000 square feet of office space. (Draft SEIR,p. 1-3.).Nowhere was the hotel
<br /> speci icall listed sted or mentioned.Nor does the SEIR's air quality/GHG emission modeling consider
<br /> hotel uses.This can be verified by the CalEEMod worksheets,which do not identify any hotel uses
<br /> during any of the phased construction or ultimate operations of the entire Village Specific Plan.22
<br /> (See Figure 4 below.) Similarly,neither the SEIR's VMT Study23 nor its Water Supply Assessment
<br /> considers hotel uses.24
