ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPOR T ADDENDUM Bristol Street Widening Project Warner Ave to Saint Andrew Place (Phase IV) 3.0 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES This section describes the effects of the proposed modifications to the Bristol Street Widening Phase IV project compared to those identified in the previously approved 1990 Final EISIEIR document, and to existing conditions and any changes in regulatory setting since the previously approved 1990 Final EISIEIR. Furthermore, this section analyzes the potential environmental impacts associated with the proposed project. The issue areas evaluated in this document include the following, pursuant to Appendix G of the CEQA Guidelines, and have been modified to evaluate the proposed project changes for which a Final EISIEIR has been previously approved (in 1990) to assist in the determination of the need for a supplemental EISIEIR or an Addendum. The modified Initial Study checklist is found in Appendix A. Aesthetics • Agricultural and Forestry Resources • Air Quality • Biological Resources • Cultural Resources Geology and Soils Greenhouse Gas Emissions • Hazards & Hazardous Materials Hydrology/Water Quality • Land Use Mineral Resources Noise • Population and Housing • Public Services • Recreation • Transportation/Traffic • Utilities/Service Systems • Mandatory Findings of Significance A summary of impacts of the previously approved project and the mitigation measures imposed is provided along an analysis of the potential impacts resulting from the proposed project and whether those impacts substantially exceeds those discussed in the previously approved 1990 Final EISIEIR. 3.1 Aesthetics This section corresponds with Section IV, Environmental Consequences and Mitigation Measures, subsections A, Landform Modification, G, Urban Landscaping, J, Light and Glare, and K, Aesthetic Considerations of the previously approved 1990 Final EISIEIR. (a) Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? The proposed project would not result in any significant modifications or changes from the previously approved 1990 Final EIS/EIR. The Bristol Street Widening Phase IV intersections are located within a highly developed urban area of the City. No scenic vistas are located within the project area. No impact to scenic vistas would result from the proposed project. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. (b) Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway? There are no state designated scenic highways within the project area. The project is located within a highly developed and urbanized area of the City. No scenic highways are located within close proximity, nor is the project area visible from any scenic highways. No impacts are anticipated in this regard. Mitigation Measures No new additional mitigation measures are required. ANA 305-194 (PER 02) CSA (AUGUST 2014) 133867 YU 21 75C-37
