There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new information <br />that would cause new or more severe impacts. <br />Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the <br />parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />b) State Scenic Highway <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR indicated that Site 3 is not visible from I-680. The Prior EIR also indicated that Site 3 is <br />within full or partial view of I-580 but there are no scenic resources on Site 3. The project site is only <br />a portion of Site 3 and cannot be seen from I-580 due to intervening development and vegetation. <br />The Prior EIR stated that the proposed changes to land use designations for Site 3 would not <br />intensify planned development, as Site 3 was already designated and planned for commercial and <br />office development, which would result in a similar intensity of development as the proposed high- <br />density residential uses. As such, the Prior EIR concluded that sites considered for residential <br />development—including Site 3—would not result in substantial damage to scenic resources, and <br />therefore impacts to State Scenic Highways would be less than significant. <br />Analysis of Proposed Project <br />The project site consists of a parking lot and there are no scenic resources on-site. The project site is <br />not visible from I-680 or I-580 because of distance and intervening developed land uses, and <br />therefore would not introduce any new impacts to views from State Scenic Highways not previously <br />disclosed. Impacts would continue to be less than significant, and no mitigation would be necessary, <br />consistent with the Prior EIR. There are no proposed changes, new circumstances, or new <br />information that would cause new or more severe impacts. <br />Therefore, there are no environmental effects that are peculiar to the proposed project or the <br />parcels on which the proposed project would be located. Impacts would be less than significant and <br />the proposed project would not result in a new or more severe adverse impact that was not <br />previously identified in the Prior EIR. <br />c) Visual Character <br />Prior EIR Conclusions <br />The Prior EIR considered the project’s impacts in relation to a previous version of the Appendix G <br />Checklist question: Would the project substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of <br />the site and its surroundings?
