Response L8.9: The comment does not raise any specific environmental concern with the analysis within the Draft SEIR. CEQA is an environmental protection statute that is concerned with physical changes to the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15358(b)). The environment includes land, air, water, minerals, flora, fauna, ambient noise, and objects of historic or aesthetic significance (CEQA Guidelines Section 15360). The Project’s potential economic and social effects are not considered effects on the environment (CEQA Guidelines Sections 15064(e) and 15131(a)). Thus, consistent with CEQA, the Draft SEIR includes an analysis of the Project’s potentially significant physical impacts on the environment and does not include discussion of beautification. However, as discussed on page 5.16-7 of the Draft SEIR, the Project is located on an infill site within a TPA as defined under Public Resources Code Section 21099; therefore, the Project’s aesthetic and parking impacts are not considered significant effects on the environment.
