Water Supply The DSEIR analyzed the proposed JDEDZ on all utility systems, including water. Please refer to Section 4.E, Other Topics, of the DSEIR and/or the Master Response to Comments in the FSEIR regarding the impacts of the Proposed EDZ on water use. This section is a summary of the information found in those sources. The existing zoning within the Johnson Drive area allows for industrial and office land uses. The City's 2010 Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) concludes that the City has adequate water supplies to accommodate anticipated growth through the year 2030. Non-residential growth attributable to the JDEDZ would not exceed the growth anticipated in the UWMP. In addition to forecasted water supply and demand, there is a mitigation measure in the DSEIR (Mitigation Measure 4.E-9), which requires all development projects within the proposed JDEDZ to provide written verification prior to development that Zone 7 would have sufficient water supply to meet the demand of the development in addition to existing commitments. Finally, this project would be subject to any City water conservation measures and programs currently in place. For example, the City would apply a standard condition of project approval for all projects within the JDEDZ that requires recycled water infrastructure be installed and connected when and if recycled water infrastructure becomes available in the area. Nonconforming Uses & Grandfathering of Existing Uses within the JDEDZ All existing uses within the JDEDZ project area are currently legal uses under the existing zoning. Once the JDEDZ project area is rezoned, some of the existing uses would become legal nonconforming uses. All legal nonconforming uses within the proposed JDEDZ, including the Valley Bible Church, as well as the FedEx property and the AT&T property would be protected as permitted industrial uses, consistent with the uses permitted and conditionally permitted in the I -P and I -G zoning districts as of January 1, 2017, would be allowed on parcels a minimum of five gross acres in area where existing light industrial uses already exist. As currently drafted, the allowed land uses in the area would be greatly expanded to include a wider range of commercial uses. All existing uses, including those made legal nonconforming by the proposed rezoning, would be permitted, conditionally permitted, or otherwise protected by "grandfather" provisions, meaning existing businesses in the JDEDZ will be allowed to operate, undertake modest expansions, and potentially relocate within the JDEDZ. Please refer to the Attachment 2 and the Master Response to Comments in the FSEIR regarding the Impacts of the Proposed EDZ on existing and/or nonconforming uses. Impacts to Neighborhoods Near Proposed EDZ The residences on the west side of 1-680 and Val Vista are the most proximate residential neighborhoods to the proposed JDEDZ. The DSEIR analyzes the potential noise, air quality, and traffic impacts on that neighborhood and others in the area. As shown in the DSEIR, buildout of the JDEDZ would result in a 0.2 decibel (dBA) increase in 24-hour traffic noise on Stoneridge Drive, which borders the Val Vista neighborhood on the north, and a maximum increase of 0.1 dBA on Hopyard Road, which borders the neighborhood to the east. (A significant noise increase is considered 4 dBA or higher). Page 16 of 22
