Furthermore, this section analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed Project. The issue areas evaluated in this document include the following, pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and have been modified to evaluate the proposed Project changes for which an FEIS/EIR has been previously approved (in 1990) to assist in the determination of the need for a supplemental EIS/EIR or an Addendum. The modified Initial Study checklist, comparing the effects of the Project modifications as compared to those analyzed in the 1990 FEIS/EIR, is found in AppendixA, Modified Initial Study Checklist. • Aesthetics • Mineral Resources • Agricultural and Forestry Resources • Noise • Air Quality • Population and Housing • Biological Resources • Public Services • Cultural Resources • Recreation • Geology and Soils • Transportation/Traffic • Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Tribal Cultural Resources • Hazards and Hazardous Materials • Utilities/Service Systems • Hydrology/Water Quality Mandatory Findings of Significance • Land Use A summary of impacts of the previously approved Bristol Street Widening Project and the mitigation measures imposed is provided along with an analysis of the potential impacts resulting from the proposed Project and whether those impacts substantially exceeds those discussed in the previously approved 1990 FEIS/EIR. 3.1 AESTHETICS This section corresponds with the following 1990 FEIS/EIR, Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsections: • Subsection A, Landform Modification; • Subsection G, Urban Landscaping; • Subsection J, Light and Glare; and • Subsection K, Aesthetic Considerations.
