1m act Impact 01 a and 01 b. The project will cause an increase in traffic under the CUMULATIVE DEVELOPMENT + PROJECT DEVELOPMENT scenario at the locations identified in the text, for which feasible mitiga- tions have not been identified that would fully mitigate the impacts, Chapter 1 Summary Comment 01, Implementing intersection improvements as provided for under Measure 01 a, -b, and -c would not be sufficient to maintain LOS D or better conditions at two intersections under the CUMULATIVE+PROJECT scenario: Bernal @ 1-680 SB Ho ard @ Owens Significant (Unmitigated)/ Cumulative 1. Identification of Alternatives Chapter 5 describes and discusses a series of potential project alternatives. For reasons explained in that chapter, the focus of the alternatives analysis is on Alternatives 1 and 2, Key differences between the project and Alternatives 1 and 2 are as follows: . The Project includes a cultural arts center (9,2 acres) in sub-area 1, no train station, cultivated agriculture in sub-area 7 (9,2 acres), and a l,5-acre park-and-ride lot in sub- area 12, It includes somewhat less open space (102,9 acres) than Alternative 1 but considerably more new wetlands (25 acres) than either of the alternatives, The Project does not propose placing the ACE train station in the Specific Plan area, . Alternative 1, like the project, includes a cultural arts center (9,2 acres) in sub-area 1, and a l,5-acre park-and-ride lot in sub-area 12, It includes more open space (134,1 acres) and somewhat less cultivated agriculture (3 acres) than either the project or Alternative 2, Like the Project, Alternative 1 does not propose placing the ACE train station in the Specific Plan area, Operationally, Alternative 1 includes sharing of its parking resources with the existing ACE train station across Bernal Avenue and enhanced pedestrian access between these uses, . Alternative 2 devotes a larger area of the site (21 acres) to the cultural arts center and locates that use in sub-area 6 toward the center of the Central Area rather than in sub-area 1 toward the downtown, It includes the ACE train station with its own parking in sub-area 2, and it has no park-and-ride lot. The Bernal Community Park would be smaller by 6,2 acres than in the project and Alternative 1. Alternative 2 also includes less open space (100 acres) than the other two plans, and a smaller area of new wetlands (11,2 acres) than the project but a larger area than in Alternative 1, S3
