4.Written Comments on the Draft EIR and Responses to Comments plants and landscaping design as specified in the State Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance and Bay Friendly Guidelines. Further, and as noted on page 4.E-37 of the Draft SEIR, all projects developed within the EDZ area would require recycled water infrastructure to be installed at the time of initial construction and connected when and if recycled water infrastructure becomes available. Use of recycled water would greatly decrease the amount of water used for outdoor uses like landscape irrigation. It is noted that no Water Supply Assessment(WSA) is required for the proposed EDZ as part of the project's CEQA documentation because the project does not meet the size threshold for such a requirement. As explained in Section 4.E of the Draft SEIR on page 4.E-36, a WSA is required, pursuant to Senate Bill 610(Sections 10910 to 10915 of the State Water Code), for a project consisting of a shopping center or business establishment employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 500,000 square feet of floor space, or a proposed commercial office building employing more than 1,000 persons or having more than 250,000 square feet of floor space. (A WSA is also required for a project with a water demand equal to that of 500 dwelling units; based on the City's average of 457 gallons per single-family home per day, per the 2004 Water Master Plan, and reduced by 25 percent to reflect the drought,that would total 62.6 million gpy.)The proposed EDZ would meet none of these thresholds.
