Public Health and Safety Like the proposed project,the Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative would include the development of - mixed uses across the 815-acre project site and the development of utilities infrastructure and roadways within the off-site infrastructure sites. Like the proposed project,this alternative would result in: a significant potential for exposure to preexisting hazardous materials(including listed hazardous materials sites), a less-than-significant potential for exposure to hazardous materials associated with upset and accident conditions, a less-than-significant potential to emit hazardous emissions or handle hazardous materials within Y4 mile of a school, a significant potential for exposure to hazardous materials associated with locating a school site in an area of potential hazards, _ a significant potential for exposure to pipeline hazards, and a less-than-significant potential for exposure to EMFs. Because this alternative would include 101 fewer residential units(and associated residents and school age children)than the proposed project,it would expose a slightly smaller permanent on-site population to preexisting hazardous materials than the proposed project. However,the above differences between this alternative and the proposed project would be marginal, especially after implementation of the mitigation identified in Section 4.9, "Public Health and Safety,"which would reduce these impacts to less-than-significant levels.[Similar] Biological Resources Both the Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative and the proposed project would disturb the 815-acre project site and off-site infrastructure sites.Both scenarios would result in: a less-than-significant impact on general biological resources and their habitat, a significant impact on special-status plants, a less-than-significant impact on special-status amphibians and reptiles, a less-than-significant impact on Swainson's hawk, a significant impact on burrowing owl, - • a significant impact on other nesting raptors, • a significant impact on other special-status nesting birds, a less-than-significant impact on loss of foraging habitat for other special-status birds, a significant impact on San Joaquin kit fox, a significant impact on jurisdictional waters of the United States, and a less-than-significant impact to trees. Because the two scenarios would disturb the same acreage and replace the same amount of agricultural acreage with urban uses,the impacts of the two scenarios would be similar.[Similar] Transportation The Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative would include 101 fewer residential units, 3.5 more acres of neighborhood commercial, and 202,700 sf more office commercial than the proposed project.This alternative would also develop 432 residential units as medium-high-density(R/MH-Cluster)clustered units rather than as medium-density(RIM)detached units.This alternative would also include a transit program designed to reduce - EDAW College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR Alternatives to the Proposed Project 5-22 San Joaquin County
