EXHIBIT "A" However, and as with Alternative Site No. 2, Alternative Site No. 5 would not substantially avoid or lessen the proposed project's significant unavoidable impact to the South Bristol Street /West Segerstrom Avenue intersection (as indicated in Section 5.4.7.4 of the Draft FEIR). As such, Alternative Site No. 5 does not meet CEQA's stated purpose for consideration of alternative site locations and would not meet the project objective to "avoid detrimental impacts to existing businesses." With respect to comments pertaining to parking, please refer to the response provided above in Section V.B. No change is required to the analysis of parking. However, to reflect the fact that feasibility of alternatives is ultimately up to the City Council, the FEIR has been revised to delete the conclusion that Alternative Site No. 5 (and Alternative Site Nos. 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, and 19) would be "legally infeasible." Finally, the conclusion about emergency access in Draft EIR Section 5.4.7 was included in error and has been deleted from the FEIR. Table 5 -1 does not identify any significant impacts to emergency access associated with this alternative and, therefore, there is no change required in Table 5 -1. Section V.C.4 (Alternative Site 7) Page 5 -44 of the Draft FEIR clearly indicates that "for purposes of analysis, it is assumed that this alternative would be constructed in the northwestern portion of the parking lot" in order to reduce the amount of parking that would be lost and the degree of disruption to the existing business. Therefore, the characterization in Draft FEIR Section 5.4.9.1 is correct in concluding that odor impacts would be increased, but would be reduced to a level below significance with mitigation. With respect to comments pertaining to parking, please refer to the response provided above in Sections V.B and V.C.3. Even if the Draft FEIR were to identify reduced impacts to transportation/traffic due to the elimination of some of the proposed project's less than significant impacts caused by traffic control, Table 5 -1 still would identify Alternative Site No. 7 as having more severe impacts to transportation/traffic as compared to the proposed project. This is because this alternative would result in the introduction of a new significant unavoidable impact to parking, and because this alternative would fail to completely eliminate significant unavoidable impacts due to other forms of required traffic control. Therefore, there are no changes required in Table 5 -1. Section V.C.5 (Alternative Site 8) Please refer to the response provided above in Sections V.B and V.C.3 for responses to the comments on parking impacts. Furthermore, and as with Alternative Site No. 7, even if the Draft FEIR were to identify reduced impacts to transportation/traffic due to the elimination of some of the proposed project's less than significant impacts caused by 55A -127
