1 Prgec Description and Approach Federal Highway Administration (FH WA) noise model, the analysis will quantify the increase in noise levels along roadways used to access the project site based on traffic increases predicted in the transportation analysis. ESA will rely on mitigation measures identified in the General Plan EIR and /or GPA EIR. if necessary. Transportation and Circulation. ESA will team with Fehr and Peers (F &P) to prepare a transportation and circulation analysis for the EIR. ESA and F &P successfully provided the transportation analysis for the. General Plan Amendment and Rc_oaiag EIR. F &P's proposed scope of work is attached for the City's review (see Attachment 1). Their analysis will include a review of the Citywide Traffic Model to ensure that the parcels are coded correctly. It will also include a traffic analysis that will look at 15 key intersections under Existing, Existing plus Project, Existing plus Approved Projects, Existing plus Approved Pro'ecus Project.

The impacts of the rezoning on other CEQA Environmental Factors will be discussed. including technical supporting evidence in the EIR. Each topic will address potential impacts and draw on mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and /or GPA EIR to address potential impacts. As the Economic and Fiscal Element of the General Plan pre -dates the Climate Action Plan, it is assumed that the rezoning is accounted for in the modeling that was conducted for the CAP. In general, other issues are anticipated to be fully analyzed briefly. but in sufficient detail to credibly demonstrate their lack of significance under CEQA, assuming this finding can be made. For instance. it appears unlikely that the proposed project will result in any noticeable changes to agricultural resources. cultural resources, biological resources, recreational facilities, mineral resources, or other environmental issues. All of these, however, will be addressed briefly. as appropriate, in the SEIR. ESA will utilize all technical documents, such as the traffic assessment and the noise study to support the findings. Mitigation measures from the General Plan EIR and/or GPA EIR will be revised for their potential to reduce impacts at the project site, if necessary. Develop Alternatives As required by CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6(a), an EIR shall describe a reasonable range of alternatives to a project, including an "environmentally superior" alternative and a "no project" alternative. The alternatives will be formulated based on project impacts, the alternatives discussed in the previous EIR(s) and input from City staff. Because the current project represents only a portion of the City, one or more alternatives specific to the project site may be analyzed. Gtr of Pheasanron Johnson Ome Economic Development Zone EIR 4
