density, infill development, and improvement of the job/housing balance at a lesser extent than the Project. However, impacts to land use and planning would be less than significant and similar to those of the Project. Overall, although the magnitude of impacts would be less under the Reduced Project with No Subterranean Parking Alternative in comparison to the Project, the Reduced Project with No Subterranean Parking Alternative would not eliminate the significant and unavoidable recreation impacts, the less than significant impacts of the Project, or the need for mitigation. In addition, the Reduced Project with No Subterranean Parking Alternative would not fully meet all of the Project objectives. As previously discussed, though the Reduced Project with No Subterranean Parking Alternative would transform the conventional auto-oriented shopping plaza with large surface parking areas to a mixed-use development, this alternative would not maximize the opportunities as described in the Project objectives as there would be fewer retail services and park space, no office uses, and no subsurface shared parking areas. The reduced commercial and removal of office uses would result in a net decrease of jobs from existing conditions that would not fully maximize the economic opportunities of the Project site as encouraged by the GPU. Overall, with the exception of a few Project objectives, this alternative meets most of the Project objectives, but not to the same extent as the Project. (Draft Supplemental EIR, p. 6-29.)
