Response to Comment L14: Callie Cullum dated August 12, 2024 <br />Comment L14.1: This comment requests that the planning commission limit the size of the buildings within <br />the proposed Project as the area cannot handle the increased volume of people, increased crime and <br />urbanization. <br />Response L14.1: The comment does not raise any specific environmental concern with the analysis within <br />the Draft Supplemental EIR or requirements of the proposed Specific Plan. As detailed throughout the <br />Draft Supplemental EIR, specifically in Sections 3.0 Project Description, and 5.8 Land Use and Planning, the <br />proposed Project is within the General Plan allowable density for the site. The existing General Plan <br />District Center High (DC-5) land use designation has an allowable density of 125 dwelling units per acre <br />(du/ac) and maximum height of 25 stories, and the proposed development would result in a maximum <br />density of 91 du/ac, which is 34 du/ac below the maximum allowed by DC-5, which was evaluated <br />previously by the City in the GPU FEIR. Therefore, additional demands from buildout of the site have also <br />been cumulatively evaluated as part of buildout of the City. <br />As described in Section 3.0, Project Description, of the Draft SEIR, an administrative Police Department <br />Substation (no transfers or bookings) would be located within the commercial use area of the Project site. <br />The substation would provide space for the expansion of policing services in the southern portion of the <br />City and would provide the ability to quickly respond to emergency calls from within the Project site. The <br />specific location would be determined prior to construction of the first phase of the proposed Project. Also, <br />in Section 5.11, Public Services, it describes that the proposed Project would address typical residential <br />security concerns by providing low -intensity security lighting, security cameras, electronic access to <br />buildings, and onsite security personnel. Pursuant to the City's existing permitting process, the Police <br />Department would review and approve the final site plans to ensure that the City's Crime Prevention <br />through Environmental Design (CPTED) measures (General Plan Policy PS-2.1) are incorporated <br />appropriately to provide a safe environment, including areas within parking garages. <br />31 <br />
