City Council

10A. City Council to provide feedback and policy direction on the Circulation Element update (renamed and referred to herein as the Mobility Element) and the implementing Mobility Analysis Guidelines. Contact Person: Senior Mobility Planner Jedynak Environmental Considerations: Pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”), a focused Environmental Impact Report (“EIR”) was prepared to analyze the potential environmental effects of the project. The following subject areas were analyzed: air quality, greenhouse gas emissions and climate change, noise and vibration, land use and planning, public services and facilities, and transportation and circulation. For each subject area analyzed, it was determined that the project would not result in a significant environmental impact, which is summarized in the CEQA Findings of Fact. In accordance with CEQA, the draft EIR was published for a 45-day public review and comment period from September 6, 2024, to October 21, 2024 with the State Clearinghouse (State Clearinghouse No. 2022080705), and San Diego County Clerk-Recorder’s Office, and no public comments were received during this period. Because the draft EIR concludes that the project would not result in significant environmental impacts from implementation of the project, no mitigation measures are required. Recommended Action: Receive the report and provide feedback and policy direction on the draft Mobility Element and Mobility Analysis Guidelines.
