Draft EIR Chapter 4, Effects Found not to be Significant, Section 4.2.1, Agriculture Resources and Forestry Resources, page 4-2 states that the proposed project would continue to provide access to Assessor’s Parcel Number (APN) 941-2600-1-3, located immediately west of the project site boundary, through an access easement. This easement would allow existing agricultural (grazing) activities to continue on the adjacent parcel upon project implementation. The project applicant would be required to coordinate with the City and EBRPD regarding specifications for this easement as a project condition of approval. Therefore, no impact related to agriculture or forestry resources would occur. Response to R.DEVANY 1-2 Draft EIR Chapter 2, Project Description, Exhibit 2-2b displays the local vicinity of the project site with the proposed project site plan. This exhibit includes aerial imagery, as well as project site feature delineations. Exhibit 2-3 depicts the existing parcels within the project site. The parcel number is provided for each property in the project site. Exhibit 2-2b and Exhibit 2-3 are not intended to show land use designations, as that is displayed on Exhibit 2-4 in Chapter 2, Project Description, of the Draft EIR. Exhibit 2-4 contains the land use designations for parcels within the City and within Alameda County within the vicinity of the project site. Moreover, Draft EIR Section 3.10, Land Use and Planning, pages 3.10-1 through 3.10-3 include textual descriptions of land uses within and surrounding the project site. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration. The comment did not provide new, substantial evidence with respect to the disposition of significant environmental impacts evaluated in the Draft EIR. Therefore, no further response is required.

The County did not submit comments in response to the NOP during the scoping period. Comments received from other agencies and members of the public (see Draft EIR Chapter 1, Introduction, Table 1-1), were considered in determining the issues analyzed in the Draft EIR, consistent with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15082 and 15083. Accordingly, the NOP circulation process complied with CEQA requirements, and the County was afforded the opportunity to review and comment on the proposed project during the scoping phase. Additionally, the Notice of Availability for review of this Draft EIR was provided to the County. However, no comments on this Draft EIR were received from the County. This comment is included in the administrative record and will be provided to the decision-makers for review and consideration.
