The overall projeet has been assessed by the City; in 1981, an EIR was prepared and certified. As planned; the project would include office, research/development, commercial and hotel land uses. Current planning for the redevelopment project envisions an increase in the area devoted to hotel uses. Although specifics are not identified for each hotel, a total of 1,300 hotel rooms are now expected. The original plan included 600 hotel rooms; this land use alternative was not evaluated in the original EIR. In addition, planning has focused on an additional street connection to serve the redevelopment area. A proposed extension of Gateway Boulevard would provide a major four-lane street connection from the redevelopment area to South Airport Boulevard. Because the addition.of 700 hotel rooms and a major new street connection could have effects measurably different from the. original redevelopment project, the City has required that a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report be prepared. II. APPROACH The Gateway Redevelopment Project, due to its size, regional influence, potential for employment and pivotal location, is the most significant development to be undertaken in the City of South San Francisco in recent years. The potential impacts of the project -- both positive and negative -- are extremely important to the future of the City and the North Peninsula. It is therefore crucial that. this supplemental study develop thorough, accurate, credible and relevant information, presented in a clear manner, so that planners, concerned citizens, the Planning Commission and the City Council can continue to determine the best way to respond to the overall project. Before describing our work plan we want to highlight key features of our approach to the supplemental Gateway Redevelopment Project EIR. First, we would like to emphasize our ability to respond directly to the specific aspects of the applicant's proposal that will have the greatest impacts on the City. Because there is considerable background data on the project setting, we can concentrate our efforts on questions related to the incremental effects of these projects on traffic, local land uses and other environmental issues. Because considerable background data is available for the project area, our primary study goal will be to meet with the City (and other appropriate agencies) to identify (1) particular factors which have changed since the prior EIR, and (2) continuing issues which need a supplemental review (beyond the analysis performed in the prior EIR). EIP Corporation takes a solution-oriented approach to problems encountered in the EIlq. process. We focus our attention on devising mitigation strategies that are technically sound, cost-effective, practical and politically acceptable to all parties. This allows for an "up front" understanding of problems and the means by which potentially adverse effects can be effectively mitigated. HL WORK PLAN A. GENHRAL EIP will prepare a Supplemental Environmental Impact Report in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), state guidelines, and environmental guidelines of the City of South San Francisco. Environmental effects will be addressed in proportion to their severity and probability of occurrence with concentration on those areas of specific concern identified in the Initial Study prepared by the City. EIP's foremost goal Will be to report findings objectively. We have no preconception about the proposed project and the study conclusions will be professionally drawn and impartial. The report will be edited by our technical editor to ensure straightforward communi- cation. It will be accurate and free of jargon so that the information it contains is accessible to decision makers and the public. The EIR will meet all standards of legal adequacy. Graphics materials consisting of maps, drawings and photographs will be provided in a consistent format throughout the report. They will clearly and accurately depict the project and its alternatives, present environmental data where such data may be better understood through photographs and renderings, and illustrate the impacts and mitigation measures for the proposed project..Transparencies of key graphics will be provided for presentation at public hearings. B. STUDY METHODOLOGY The following outline describes EIP's study methodology. The process will be divided into · the specific tasks described below to facilitate the overall management of the study. Task 1: Prepare Notice of Preparation and Initial Study EIP will review responses to the Notice of Preparation prepared by distribution. the City for Task 2: Data Collection EIP will review existing available data necessary to prepare the EIR. Relevant data include plans for the major facilities, existing traffic counts and prior technical studies regarding traffic. Our key investigators will make maximum use of the existing data background. Task 3: Prepare Administrative Draft FIR EIP will prepare six copies of an Administrative Draft EIR (ADEIR) for submission to the Department of Community Development for review and comment. The main body of the report win include a project description; setting, impacts and mitigation measures for each of the environmental issues addressed; statutory sections required by CEQA; references; and a complete list of the EIR authors and persons consulted. Because two project components will be studied (added hotel rooms and the Gateway Boulevard extension) the report will include separate yet interrelated analyses. The development of mitigation measures will be coordinated with appropriate City agencies. Mitigations will be presented in wording that can be directly applied to conditions of ap/)roval by decision makers. Task 4: Prepare'Draft ED{ and Attend Public Hearings Following review and'comment on the ADEIR by City staff, EIP will make the necessary revisions and print 75 copies of the Draft Supplemental EIR for public circulation. The Draft Supplemental EIR will be circulated for public review and comment for a 45-day period, as mandated by CEQA. EIP's designated Principal-in-charge, Doug Donaldson, and Project Manager George Nicke]son (and appropriate EIP technical staff) will attend up to two' public hearings on the Draft Supplemental EIR.' The public hearings will include presentations by our technical experts when appropriate. To assist in the presentations, EIP will provide viewgraph transparencies of pertinent graphics such as the project plans, locational and informational maps and visual representations of areas of impact. Task $: Prepare Final FIR After the Department of Community Development's tentative certification of the Draft EIR at the public hearing, EIP will work with the "certified" EIR materials and comments to prepare an Administrati'¢e Final EIR for submission to the City. Following review and comment by the City, EIP will revise and publish a master copy of the Final EIR, including comments, responses and all necessary addenda. Finally, EIP will attend an additional hearing to include the EIR certification process. KEY ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES A. TRAFFIC The traffic impact analysis will be prepared by George Nickelson, registered Civil and Traffic Engineer with EIP. The analysis will, to the greatest extent possible, build upon previous analyses conducted in the area. Assessment of the added hotel rooms will consider the incremental traffic added to the levels outlined in the original EIR. In this way, the work effort can focus on those intersections that the original EIR projected as congested (or approaching congested conditions). Similarly, evaluation of the proposed Gateway Boulevard extension will utilize previous studies of this proposed project. By focusing on key issues identified in prior studies, the EIR analysis can be more efficient and timely. Hotel Project Analysis of additional hotel rooms will involve updating traffic data at key locations. Preliminary review of the prior EIR suggests that a total of five to six intersections be reevaluated. They are' as follow: (a) E. Grand/Gateway Blvd./Gateway Bl~d. Extension~ (b) Old E. Grand W/New Overpass, (c) Gateway Blvd. Ext./S. Airport, (d) S. Airport/Produce: (e) E. Grand/Airport, (f) S. Airport/Gateway Blvd. Ext./Mitchell Ave., (g) Harbor Way/E. Grand (if determined necessary after preliminary analysis). Peak hour traffic will be recounted at these locations' and existing conditions (level of service) identified. Further updates of the data base will include a review of the Caltrans Oyster Point interchange study, EIP's San Bruno Mountain South Slope EIR and current development plans for the U.S. Steel site. When judged to be important, as with intersections (b) and (f) above, a.m. peak as well as p.m. rush hour conditions will be assessed. The impact analysis will use the original EIR's trip generation and distribution process to estimate the incremental traffic generated by 700 added hotel rooms and the effects of such traffic on key intersections. The cumulative analysis will reflect current development plans on the U.S. Steel site (and any other cumulative development), and will assess effects on U.S. 101 as well as local intersections. A key component of this analysis will be the evaluation of potential mitigation measures. The various measures outlined in the original EIR (basic, moderate and major levels of improvement) will be assessed in terms of their effectiveness and implementation time. In addition, the proposed Gateway Boulevard and Oyster Point interchange project extension will be considered as mitigation measures. Gateway Boulevard Extension The traffic analysis for the Gateway Boulevard extension will use the 1983 study done for this project. This prior study will be supplemented to assess extension effects with and without the added hotel rooms in the Gateway redevelopment area. Intersection service levels will be analyzed for the existing conditions and conditions with the extension. In this regard, a particular concern will be the traffic operations at each terminus of the roadway (at Grand Avenue and Airport Boulevard). The potential benefits and impacts will be identified. Similarly, consideration will be given to site access for those parcels that would front along, the new street extension. Existing access and potential benefits/impacts of the new street will be examined. In response to identified impacts, mitigation measures will be discussed and recom- mended. Such measures could include design treatment at intersections and site access provisions for adjacent parcels. B. LAND USE AND RELATIONSHIP TO PLANS Compatibility of the proposed hotel and roadway projects to existing and proposed adjacent land uses will be discussed in the Supplemental EIR 'by DoUg Svensson, EIP Planner/Economist. A land use survey of the area through which the Gateway Boulevard Extension would pass will be included, utilizing existing information verified by fieId checks, and interviews with key landowners, such as P.G.&E. officials. The relationship of the extension to existing land uses (particularly the transmission lines) will be described, although specific impacts on parcel lines will not be included in the' EIR. City and regional plans pertaining to the project area such as the City General Plan and zonin% ordinance, ABAG Regional Plan and the Joint Land Use Study will be discussed and comformance of the project 'to specific elements and policies of the plans will be analyzed. · .o C. PUBLIC SERVICES AND ECONOMICS Construction of an additional 700 hotel rooms and the four-lane Gateway Boulevard extension project would generate both revenues and costs to the City of South San Francisco. These impacts will be analyzed by Doug Svensson, EIP Planner/Economist. Service impacts and related municipal costs would be expected to result from maintenance of the street extension. Mr. Svensson will determine these cost levels in consultation with City street maintenance staff. Further expenditures include the cost of constructing the extension. The data developed by Wilsey and Hamm will be reviewed and verified so that a current estimate of this cost can be provided in the Supplemental EIR. Further, the loss of property tax revenues from land in the right-of-way will be examined. Mr. Svensson will calculate all revenues pertaining to the expanded hotel component of the redevelopment project, including the property ta~ increment, various building permit and inspection fees, business license fee and franchise taxes as well as the transient occupancy tax. This analysis will draw upon existing information in the 1981 EIR, updating tax rates or fees as necessary. The cost/revenue balance for the supplemental projects (hotel and roadway) will be related to the conclusions in the 1981 EIR as appropriate. D. HYDROLOGY ANDD~AGE The proposed development area is near San Francisco Bay and only a few feet above sea level. Drainage is routed directly to the Bay. The development area could be subject to flooding during coincident high tides and severe storms if the storm drainage system is inadequate. The proposed development would increase the areal extent of impermeable surface, leading to greater runoff quantities. EIP will review the proposed storm drainage system and comment on the risk of flooding and any quality changes in surface runoff. The air quality analysis will be prepared by EIP's Senior Scientist, Richard Pollack, Ph.D. The analysis will cover the atmosphere setting of the proposed project, its potential air quality impacts and mitigation measures to reduce significant impacts. It will draw upon the existing EIR and more recent data sources as appropriate. · The setting section will present existing air quality, climate and the regulatory environ- ment. Air quality impacts from construction and operation of the proposed project will be. addressed. Operational impacts, largely due to project-generated traffic, will be analyzed at the local scale using the CALINE3 dispersion model developed by Caltrans and recommended by both the California Air Resources Board and the Bay Area Air Quality Management District. At the regional scale, impacts will be assessed based upon an emissions burden analysis. Special attention will be given to the cumulative effects of existing area traffic, particularly on 1-101, together with project-generated traffic. The modeling results will be used to establish compliance with air quality standards. Project consistency with the regional air quality plan will also be assessed. Finally, measures to mitigate significant impacts will be identified. F. NOISE The noise section 'of the Supplemental EIR will include a description of the existing noise environment of the site, potential impacts due to construction and operation of the proposed project, the consistency of the site with the proposed development, and mitigation measures to reduce significant impacts. The analysis will draw upon the existing EIR for data as well as develop more recent data sources. The Federal Highway Administration's Traffic Noise model will be used to predict future noise levels as influenced by project-generated traffic. These noise levels will be used to determine the eompatability of the site with the proposed hotel development with respect to Title 25 of the California Administrative Code and local noise guidelines. Mitigation measures will be recommended, where appropriate, to reduce or eliminate significant impacts. O. ALTERNATIYES The alternatives analysis for the additional hotel rooms will focus on the no project option for both projects as well as one to two alternatives identified by the City. The alternatives examined in the original EIR will be considered, subject to a start-up meeting with City staff. .. Similarly, EIP will meet with City staff to identify any feasible alternatives (other than no project) to the street extension project. Such alternatives could include a modified street width and/or slight variation in the alignment. H. STATUTORY SECTIONS In accordance with CEQA guidelines, the other sections required in an environmental impact report will be prepared. A summary will be included at the beginning of the EIR identifying impacts and proposed mitigation measures. Throughout the body of the EIR, practical measures will be proposed to minimize significant effects. Additional sections include a discussion of short-term versus long-term impacts, cumulative and growth- inducing impacts of the proposed action, identification of unavoidable adverse impacts, and an analysis of significant irreversible environmental changes resulting 'from imple- mentation of the proposed project. : VI. SCHEDULE From the date of authorization to proceed, copies of the Administrative Draft Supplemental EIR (ADEIR) will be submitted for City of South San Francisco staff review within six weeks. The ADEIR will be modified as necessary within two weeks after receiving staff comments and 75 copies of the Draft EIR will be printed for distribution. EIP Project Manager George Nickelson and appropriate staff will attend up to two public hearings during review of the Draft EIR and Final EIR. Responses to comments will be prepared within three weeks of close of the comment period and receipt of all comments. COST The cost for the entire study through the Final EIR is estimated at $19,860. This cost includes attendance by the Project Manager and Principal-in-Charge at the public hearings and printing of the Administrative Draft EIR, the Draft FIR and the Final FIR. Fact°rs that would increase the scope of work and estimated cost outlined in this proposal include: attendance at additional public hearings; printing of additional copies of reports; analysis of key issues in addition to those identified in this proposal and changes in the project requiring reanalysis. We would propose to renegotiate these items if required or charge on a time-and-materials basis. The following is a breakdown of the cost estimate, which is valid for a period of sixty days from the date of this proposal.
