Significant Unavoidable Adverse Impacts The proposed project would result in the following significant unavoidable impacts: • Project-Level Vehicle Miles Traveled: The proposed project would conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b). Summary of Project Alternatives Below is a summary of the alternatives to the proposed project considered in Section 6, Alternatives to the Proposed Project. Alternative 1–No Project, No Build Under the No Project/No Build Alternative (Alternative 1), the proposed project would not be constructed. Instead, it is assumed that under this alternative, existing operations on the project site would continue at the capacity of existing on-site buildings and infrastructure. Alternative 2–No Project, Existing Zoning Under the No Project, Existing Zoning Alternative (Alternative 2), the project site would be redeveloped with uses allowed by-right for the existing zoning districts on each parcel. This alternative would not include annexation of the project site into the City. As such, permitted development would be subject to the County’s zoning code. On the project site, each parcel is allowed to develop one single-family dwelling unit. Additionally, since APN 941-2600-002 is over 25 acres in size, the development of a secondary dwelling unit is permitted. Thus, this alternative would result in the development of 5 total dwelling units and 1 secondary dwelling unit. No dedication of land to the EBRPD, parking improvements, or improvements to the Oak Hills Congressional Church access would occur.
