Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 6.0 Alternatives6.3.1 Impact AnalysisAgricultural ResourcesThe overall decrease in agricultural lands converted to non-agricultural use would havereduced agricultural impacts as compared to the Project. The preservation of 173 acres foragricultural use would reduce the total converted agricultural land by about 58% as comparedto the Project. As with the proposed project, no significant impacts beyond those identified inthe 2005 General Plan FEIR would occur.Air QualityAir pollutant impacts associated with this alternative would be generally similar to, but lowerthan what would occur under the Project. As indicated in Table 6-10 on page 6-10, overallvehicle trips would be reduced by about 12,175 ADT, or 44%, due to the reduction in totaldevelopment. As with the proposed project, impacts would be less than significant for thisalternative. It should be noted that removal of potential commercial centers (Broome and NorthBank Infill) may increase the length of certain shopping trips for Project Area residents.Hazards and Hazardous MaterialsImpacts relating to hazards would be similar, but slightly higher than compared to those of theProject. This alternative would accommodate additional residential units near the nonconvertedagricultural uses. This has the potential to increase the potential for residential/agricultural conflicts. Impacts would remain less than significant with compliance with existing2005 General Plan policies and actions and proposed actions from the Community Plan aimedat reducing hazards impacts from the agriculture/residential interface.NoiseNoise and exposure impacts would be similar to, but slightly lower than those of the Project.The reduction of development would reduce the amount of new residents subject to high noiseareas within the Project Area such as Wells Road and SR 126. Additionally, the 44% decrease intraffic would reduce potential traffic-generated noise. As with the proposed project,development accommodated within the Project Area would be required to comply withapplicable noise standards and requirements such as the City’s 45 dBA interior noiserequirements for residential units. Mitigation measure N-1 would continue to apply. As withthe proposed project, incorporation of noise attenuation features into new development wouldreduce impacts to a less than significant level.Public ServicesThe overall demand for public services within the Project Area would be lower than estimatedfor the Project. The reduction of 744 dwelling units and 135,000 sf would reduce demands onpolice, fire, school and park services.6-7City of Ventura
Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 6.0 AlternativesAs with the proposed project, demand that would occur under Alternative 3 for fire and policeservices would be mitigated through the 2005 General Plan Actions 7.13 and 7.15, which aids insecuring funds for needed improvements.Based on the student generation factors used in Section 4.13, Public Services, the developmentreduction associated with not converting agricultural lands would reduce the total studentsattending Project Area Schools. The reduction would include 164 elementary, 67 middle school,and 82 high school students for a total of 313 students. This is a 41% reduction as compared tothe student generation of the Project. Payment of school fees would mitigate the studentsassociated with accommodated development under Alternative 3.Park facility impacts would be lower under Alternative 3 as well. As with the proposed project,park fees are required for the Project Area development.UtilitiesThe overall demand for utility services would be lower than that of the Project. Tables 6-7through 6-9 compare utility demands or generation for Alternative 3 and the Project.Table 6-7Water Demand Comparison(Alternative 3 vs. Project)Land Use Units (du or sf) RateWaterDemandAlternative 3Residential1,089 du0.5 Acre-feet perdwelling unit544.5Non-Residential135,625 sf9 acre-feet per25,000 square feet48.8Alternative 3 Total 593.3Project Total a 1,013.9AFYDifference -420.6du = dwelling units, sf = square feetSource for Demand Factors: Urban Water Management Plan, 2005a From Table 4.14-6Alternative 3 water demand would be reduced by an estimated 420.6 AFY, wastewatergeneration would be reduced by 276,683 gpd, and solid waste generated would be reduced byabout 7 tons per day. This represents reductions of 41%, 44% and 39% for water demand,wastewater generation and solid waste, respectively, as compared to the Project. As with theProject, significant project impacts would not occur, though this alternative would contribute tothe significant solid waste impact identified in the 2005 General Plan FEIR.6-8City of Ventura
