alternatives were not considered in detail in the Draft FIR as there are no known alternative sites that would reduce the significant impacts of the Project,and there are no feasible alternative sites that can meet the Project objectives, particularly the objective regarding development of a regional truck stop on commercially-designated land within the northern County consistent with County General Plan policy and zoning. (See Citizens for Open Government, supra, 205 Cal.AppAth at pp. 314-316 (court upholds rejection of alternative on different site because, among other reasons, "it would not fulfill the project objective of developing the proposed project site in conformance with the city's general plan and zoning regulations").) For this reason, while discussed preliminarily in Chapter 7 of the Draft FIR pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15126.6, off-site alternatives were not evaluated further in the Draft FIR. (DEIR, pp. 74 through 7-6.) The reasoning set forth in the Draft FIR for rejecting these alternatives are incorporated herein by this reference and adopted. The Planning Commission finds that that a good faith effort was made to evaluate all feasible alternatives in the EIR that are reasonable alternatives to the Project and could feasibly obtain the basic objectives of the Project, even when the alternatives might impede the attainment of the Project objectives and might be more costly. As a result, the scope of alternatives analyzed in the FIR is not unduly limited or narrow. The Planning Commission also finds that all reasonable alternatives were reviewed, analyzed and discussed in the review process of the EIR and the ultimate decision on the Project. (See,e.g.,DEIR,pp. 7-1 through 7-13.) 1. Significant Impacts of the Project The evaluation of alternatives considers whether the alternative has the potential to avoid or substantially reduce any of the significant effects of the Project, as identified in Chapters 4.0 through 6.0 of the Draft EIR. The potential environmental effects of the Project are summarized in Chapter 2.0,Summary of the Draft FIR,and are briefly summarized below: Air Quality. The Project would involve short-term construction dust emissions. Construction dust would be reduced to less than significant by conforming to existing construction dust control regulations of the San Joaquin Valley APCD; these requirements are applicable to the entire San Joaquin Valley Air Basin. The Project would generate NOx emissions that exceed the NOx significance threshold, but mitigation would reduce emissions below this threshold. It also would generate diesel particulate emissions in the course of Project operations and truck idling,but will not result in a significant impact. Transportation. The Project would involve increased traffic on roads and intersections serving the Project area, mainly along SR 12 and Thornton Road. On-site access and circulation impacts were identified, along with off-site parking impacts. Most transportation impacts were less than significant or could be reduced to less than significant with mitigation. However,ramp junction impacts were considered significant and unavoidable. Cumulative Impacts. Cumulative air quality impacts were determined to be less than cumulatively considerable, after implementation of mitigation. Cumulative transportation impacts would involve increased traffic on roads and intersections Love's Travel Stops Environmental Impact Report 12 Findings of Fact and Statement of Overriding Considerations
