• Have a positive contribution to the local economy through new capital investment, the creation of new jobs, and the expansion of the tax base. • Create a walkable mixed -use development to encourage and enhance pedestrian activity within the Specific Plan area and the local community. • Enhance non -vehicular activity by providing onsite and offsite pedestrian and bicycle facilities that link with existing facilities and transit services. • Improve existing infrastructure to support the Related Bristol Specific Plan consistent with the General Plan conditions. • Provide a project that contributes to the creation of a vibrant urban core for the City and takes advantage of the site's location within the South Coast Metro area.

The "No Project" analysis shall discuss the existing conditions, as well as what would be reasonably expected to occur in the foreseeable future if the Project is not approved. • The range of alternatives required in an EIR is governed by a "rule of reason"; therefore, the EIR must evaluate only those alternatives necessary to permit a reasoned choice. The alternatives shall be limited to ones that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the Project. • For alternative locations, only locations that would avoid or substantially lessen any of the significant effects of the Project need be considered for inclusion in the EIR. • An EIR need not consider an alternative whose effects cannot be reasonably ascertained and whose implementation is remote and speculative. Rationale for Selecting Potentially Feasible Alternatives The alternatives must include a no -project alternative and a range of reasonable alternatives to the Project if those reasonable alternatives would attain most of the Project objectives while
