1 <br />i <br />l: <br />t <br />L <br />6.3 Smaller Scale Development on the Same Location <br />6.3.1 In General <br />This section will evaluate the alternative of a project <br />consisting of a smaller scale development on the same site as the <br />project. Only those significant environmental impacts which were <br />determined to exist for the maximum project will be examined in the <br />discussing of this alternative, it being presumed (with one exception) <br />that a smaller scale project could not result in the appearance of <br />substantially adverse environmental effects beyond those identified for <br />the maximum project. <br />(The one exception concerns the achievement of Redevelopment <br />Plan goals. The imposition of a lesser maximum development may make the <br />project unacceptable to the project participants, thus making this' <br />alternative equivalent to the "No Project" alternative. A large <br />reduction in scale, even if accepted by the project participants, may <br />result in redevelopment too minor to achieve the economic revitalization <br />of the Fashion Square.Main Street Shopping Center commercial area. The <br />continued decline of that area would itself be a substantial adverse <br />environmental effect.) <br />With respect to those significant effects identified for the <br />maximum project, traffic impacts are by far the most serious and will be <br />treated in considerable detail in the following subsection. The other <br />identified significant effects can be discussed in more summary fashion <br />as follows: <br />(1) Land Use - If the project site were reduced to avoid the <br />acquisition of the Fidelity Savings building parking area, the potential <br />parking problem involving that building would be eliminated. However, <br />the project would lose the benefit of direct access from the Broadway <br />overpass. <br />75D210045 <br />
