Document Description
The proposed project is located north of the I-8/Texas Street/Qualcomm way Interchange in an urbanized area primarily dominated by residential and open space uses. The project proposes to retrofit infrastructure at the Rio Vista Station on the MTS Green Line in the City of San Diego. The project would be consistent with local and state policies aimed at reducing air pollutant and greenhouse gas emissions, as proposed project would not result in any new or increased emissions. The Initial Study identifies potentially significant effects to biological resources (impacts to habitat of special status species), cultural resources (unknown subsurface archaeological resources), land use and planning (Multiple Habitat Planning Area), noise (construction noise at adjacent habitat and surrounding property lines), and tribal cultural resources (unknown subsurface tribal cultural resources) for the proposed project. The implementation of mitigation measures identified in the Initial Study would ensure potentially significant impacts are reduced to less than significant levels. All other environmental impacts would be less than significant, or no impact would occur. Therefore, the project would not result in significant impacts to the environment.
