4.0 EAW 4.1 An EAW was prepared for the proposed development and submitted to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB). The public comment period expired on February 26,1997. Over 70 comments were received. A summary of the comments received is attached, The majority of the comments received concerned traffic, vehicle emissions, air quality, noise, impact on infrastructure and public services, and related developments or cumulative impacts. The City Council on March 24, 1997 made its findings on the EAW. (The Planning staff had recommended that the Ryan proposal creates no significant unanticipated environmental impact and that the Council should make a "negative declaration" - a Council finding of no significant impact warranting an Environmental Impact Statement.) , 4,2 Additional staff and consultant analysis was completed to address traffic and other issues raised in the EAW comments and from the first Planning Commission meeting, While traffic will increase on the site and adjacent to the site, the road system has the capacity to handle the traffic In the future as this business park finally develops, there may be a need for a semaphore at Lydia or "C-2", and additional queuing capacity may be needed along the interstate ramps.
