Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006
Additionally, implementation of Alternative 3 is not considered consistent with the open space
objective encouraging the preservation and maintenance of open space areas ( 40 percent or
greater) within developing Village areas. However, Alternative 3 would not result in the large
scale conversion of existing open space areas that would result with implementation of the
Proposed Project’s expanded Sphere of Influence.
Environmental Impacts of the Alternative
The environmental impacts of Alternative 3 are summarized in Table 10- 3 and described in
greater detail below.
Aesthetics
Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing
General Plan and the assumed land uses within the existing Sphere of Influence.
Although, this alternative would result in the eventual annexation ( with LAFCO approval) and
urbanization of the existing Sphere of Influence, buildout under the existing General Plan would
result in slightly fewer jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project.
The existing General Plan has relatively few policies that regulate aesthetics or scenic resource
issues. The current Community Design Element includes some policy guidance with respect to
neighborhood character; although, the proposed goals and polices provided as part of the
Proposed Project are considerably more comprehensive and detailed than those in the existing
General Plan. However, it is assumed that the City would continue to evaluate the environmental
impacts of these projects on a case- by- case basis and would identify all applicable and feasible
mitigation measures for significant impacts.
Although not as extensive as the Proposed Project, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence
would result in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth would occur over currently
undeveloped open space land. This growth would affect the existing visual character of the City, the
surrounding area, and would also result in increased sources of nighttime light and glare.
Agricultural Resources
Buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would convert less existing agricultural lands
to developed uses than development proposed under the Proposed Project. Consequently, a
smaller amount of land designated as Prime, Unique or Farmland of Statewide Importance would
be converted to urban uses under Alternative 3 compared to the amount of farmland that would be
converted to urban uses under the Proposed Project ( see Table 10- 12).

However, because there would be some conversion of important farmland to urbanized uses under
this alternative, there would still be a significant and unavoidable impact to agricultural resources.
Air Quality
Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing
General Plan. Consequently, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in
fewer jobs, dwelling units, and residents than the Proposed Project. These reductions in dwelling
units and other types of development would result in reduced levels of both mobile and stationary
sources of air quality emissions, toxic air contaminants, and the potential for odor emissions.
However, as shown in Table 10- 13, development proposed under Alternative 3 would still result
in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth would still contribute to air pollutant
emissions that could exceed the daily PCAPCD thresholds for a variety of air pollutants.

Biological Resources
Buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would convert less ( approximately 6,000
acres) open space areas ( including wildlife habitats) to developed uses than development
proposed under the Proposed Project. Consequently, a fewer number of acres of land designated
as habitat would be converted to urban uses under Alternative 3 compared to the amount and
types of habitats that would be converted to urban uses under the Proposed Project ( see Table 10-
14). However, as with the Proposed Project, Alternative 3 would result in a significant and
unavoidable impact because growth would occur over several acres of currently undeveloped land
and would result in the overall reduction of a plant or wildlife species habitat.

Cultural Resources
Land that has been used for various types of agricultural or open space uses that do not require
extensive excavation and/ or grading activities may be more likely to contain previously
undiscovered cultural resources, particularly near local waterways. Urbanized areas may also
contain a variety of historic resources ( i. e., buildings, bridges, etc.).
The existing General Plan does not have the full range of policies designed to address cultural
resources. The current Open Space and Conservation Elements includes some policy guidance
with respect to cultural resources; however, the proposed goals and polices provided as part of the
Proposed Project ( including the Community Design Element) are considerably more
comprehensive and detailed, including, in particular, those related to historic resources.
Geology and Soils
Alternative 3 proposes development that is similar in nature to that anticipated under the
Proposed Project. Current State and federal regulations require specific engineering and design
criteria to avoid impacts related to geologic, soils, and seismic hazards, which would apply to
both this alternative and the Proposed Project. For this reason, geologic and soils impacts under
Alternative 3 are considered similar to those of the Proposed Project.
10. Alternatives to the Proposed Project
City of Lincoln General Plan Update 10- 37 ESA / 202078
Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006
Hazards and Hazardous Materials
Alternative 3 proposes development that is similar in nature to that anticipated under the
Proposed Project. However, this alternative would not include the additional hazardous materials
and public safety policies and implementation measure contained as part of the Proposed Project.
However, hazardous materials generation, storage and clean- up are heavily regulated by federal,
State and local regulations that would apply to both Alternative 3 and the Proposed Project. For
this reason, hazards and hazardous materials impacts under Alternative 3 are considered similar to
those of the Proposed Project.
Hydrology and Water Quality
Under Alternative 3, development would convert less open space land to urban uses than the
Proposed Project. As with the Proposed Project, the creation of impervious surfaces associated
with urbanization would increase the amount of runoff, which could affect water quality. An
increase in impervious surfaces could also reduce groundwater recharge potential. However,
because land conversion would be less than the Proposed Project, fewer impervious surfaces
would be developed. Overall, hydrologic and water quality impacts under Alternative 3 are
considered similar to those of the Proposed Project.
Land Use and Planning
Similar to Alternatives 1 and 2, this alternative would continue to function under the direction of
the existing General Plan. Existing General Plan policies would generally ensure that new
development is compatible with surrounding land uses and consistent with any applicable
regional plans ( i. e., airport land use compatibility plan, etc.). Additionally, neither Alternative 3
nor the Proposed Project would result in the division or alteration of an existing community.
However, under the existing General Plan, the City would have less of an ability to direct specific
development changes to ensure that new development is well- connected and compatible with
surrounding uses. The Proposed Project includes increased policy direction for the City overall,
as well as specific policies for land use in both “ Special Use District” and future Village areas,
neither of which is found within the policies of the existing General Plan. Similar to the Proposed
Project, development proposed under Alternative 3 would need to be consistent with existing
plans and policies. For these reasons, the land use impacts of Alternative 3 are considered to be
similar to those of the Proposed Project.
Mineral Resources
Alternative 3 would result in less development than the Proposed Project, so there would be fewer
potential land use incompatibilities and development of land with the potential to contain local
mineral resources. Policy guidance in the existing General Plan is similar to that provided under
the Proposed Project. Overall, impacts to mineral resources are considered similar to those
identified for the Proposed Project.

Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006
Noise
Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing
General Plan. Consequently, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in
fewer jobs, dwelling units, and residents than the Proposed Project. These reductions in dwelling
units and other types of development would also result in higher noise levels of both mobile and
stationary noise sources over existing levels, although not as high as those anticipated under the
Proposed Project ( see Table 10- 9). However, Alternative 3 would also result in a significant and
unavoidable impact because growth could still contribute additional sources of noise and
vibration that would exceed local standards.
Public Services ( including Recreation) and Utilities
As previously described, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer
jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project. This lower level of population
growth and development would result in similar although slightly lesser impacts to the public
services and utilities in the City that would be required to adequately serve the levels of
development projected under this alternative.
Similar to any other development in areas of new growth, the construction of future public service
and utility facilities could result in the permanent conversion of open space lands. Without
definitive plans, it can not be determined at this time whether such conversion of land would be
substantial and would therefore have to be characterized as significant and unavoidable. As with
the Proposed Project, mechanisms to reduce such impacts to less than significant may not exist.
Due to this uncertainty, potential impacts resulting from construction and/ or expansion of public
service and utility facilities are also considered significant and unavoidable at this time.
Transportation/ Traffic
Under Alternative 3, the transportation analysis assumed residential buildout within the area
covered by the City’s existing Sphere of Influence, which would have less development, and thus
trip generation, than the Proposed Project. As shown in Table 10- 15 residential buildout of this
alternative would generate approximately 568,000 vehicle “ trip ends” on an average weekday.
However, summing up the trip ends generated by this alternative’s uses will “ double- count” those
trips that remain within the existing General Plan area. The Placer County Travel Demand Model
avoids the double counting of these trips. An estimated 32.0 percent of the vehicle trip ends
shown in Table 10- 15 would remain within the existing General Plan area ( such as travel between
the residential development and the retail, office and school uses). When the double- counting of
these trips is eliminated, the number of trips generated by Alternative 3 is estimated at
approximately 430,000 daily vehicle trips. Of these, approximately 138,000 daily vehicle trips
would remain within the existing Sphere of Influence and 292,000 daily vehicle trips would travel
to/ from external destinations.

As previously described, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer
jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project. Average daily traffic volumes on
local and regional roadways generated by development proposed under Alternative 3 ( and in
comparison to the Proposed Project) are provided in Tables 10- 11 and 10- 16. As shown in the
tables, average daily traffic volumes on roadway segments under Alternative 3 would be typically
higher than the Existing General Plan, but less than the Proposed Project. Compared to the
Proposed Project, traffic volumes would be less on most roadway segments in the study area;
however, traffic volumes would be somewhat higher than the Proposed Project on the following
roadway segments:
• Joiner Parkway between 1st Street and Ferrari Ranch Road
• McCourtney Road between Oak Tree Lane and Virginiatown Road

However, Alternative 3 would not result in the large scale conversion of existing open space areas that would result with implementation of the Proposed Project’s expanded Sphere of Influence. Environmental Impacts of the Alternative The environmental impacts of Alternative 3 are summarized in Table 10- 3 and described in greater detail below. Aesthetics Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing General Plan and the assumed land uses within the existing Sphere of Influence. Although, this alternative would result in the eventual annexation ( with LAFCO approval) and urbanization of the existing Sphere of Influence, buildout under the existing General Plan would result in slightly fewer jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project. The existing General Plan has relatively few policies that regulate aesthetics or scenic resource issues. The current Community Design Element includes some policy guidance with respect to neighborhood character; although, the proposed goals and polices provided as part of the Proposed Project are considerably more comprehensive and detailed than those in the existing General Plan. However, it is assumed that the City would continue to evaluate the environmental impacts of these projects on a case- by- case basis and would identify all applicable and feasible mitigation measures for significant impacts. Although not as extensive as the Proposed Project, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth would occur over currently undeveloped open space land. This growth would affect the existing visual character of the City, the surrounding area, and would also result in increased sources of nighttime light and glare. Agricultural Resources Buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would convert less existing agricultural lands to developed uses than development proposed under the Proposed Project. Consequently, a smaller amount of land designated as Prime, Unique or Farmland of Statewide Importance would be converted to urban uses under Alternative 3 compared to the amount of farmland that would be converted to urban uses under the Proposed Project ( see Table 10- 12). 10.

However, because there would be some conversion of important farmland to urbanized uses under this alternative, there would still be a significant and unavoidable impact to agricultural resources. Air Quality Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing General Plan. Consequently, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer jobs, dwelling units, and residents than the Proposed Project. These reductions in dwelling units and other types of development would result in reduced levels of both mobile and stationary sources of air quality emissions, toxic air contaminants, and the potential for odor emissions. However, as shown in Table 10- 13, development proposed under Alternative 3 would still result in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth would still contribute to air pollutant emissions that could exceed the daily PCAPCD thresholds for a variety of air pollutants.

City of Lincoln General Plan Update City of Lincoln General Plan Update 10- 36 ESA / 202078 Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006 Biological Resources Buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would convert less ( approximately 6,000 acres) open space areas ( including wildlife habitats) to developed uses than development proposed under the Proposed Project. Consequently, a fewer number of acres of land designated as habitat would be converted to urban uses under Alternative 3 compared to the amount and types of habitats that would be converted to urban uses under the Proposed Project ( see Table 10- 14). However, as with the Proposed Project, Alternative 3 would result in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth would occur over several acres of currently undeveloped land and would result in the overall reduction of a plant or wildlife species habitat.

Cultural Resources Land that has been used for various types of agricultural or open space uses that do not require extensive excavation and/ or grading activities may be more likely to contain previously undiscovered cultural resources, particularly near local waterways. Urbanized areas may also contain a variety of historic resources ( i. e., buildings, bridges, etc.). The existing General Plan does not have the full range of policies designed to address cultural resources. The current Open Space and Conservation Elements includes some policy guidance with respect to cultural resources; however, the proposed goals and polices provided as part of the Proposed Project ( including the Community Design Element) are considerably more comprehensive and detailed, including, in particular, those related to historic resources. Geology and Soils Alternative 3 proposes development that is similar in nature to that anticipated under the Proposed Project. Current State and federal regulations require specific engineering and design criteria to avoid impacts related to geologic, soils, and seismic hazards, which would apply to both this alternative and the Proposed Project. For this reason, geologic and soils impacts under Alternative 3 are considered similar to those of the Proposed Project. 10. Alternatives to the Proposed Project City of Lincoln General Plan Update 10- 37 ESA / 202078 Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006 Hazards and Hazardous Materials Alternative 3 proposes development that is similar in nature to that anticipated under the Proposed Project. However, this alternative would not include the additional hazardous materials and public safety policies and implementation measure contained as part of the Proposed Project. However, hazardous materials generation, storage and clean- up are heavily regulated by federal, State and local regulations that would apply to both Alternative 3 and the Proposed Project. For this reason, hazards and hazardous materials impacts under Alternative 3 are considered similar to those of the Proposed Project. Hydrology and Water Quality Under Alternative 3, development would convert less open space land to urban uses than the Proposed Project. As with the Proposed Project, the creation of impervious surfaces associated with urbanization would increase the amount of runoff, which could affect water quality. An increase in impervious surfaces could also reduce groundwater recharge potential. However, because land conversion would be less than the Proposed Project, fewer impervious surfaces would be developed. Overall, hydrologic and water quality impacts under Alternative 3 are considered similar to those of the Proposed Project. Land Use and Planning Similar to Alternatives 1 and 2, this alternative would continue to function under the direction of the existing General Plan. Existing General Plan policies would generally ensure that new development is compatible with surrounding land uses and consistent with any applicable regional plans ( i. e., airport land use compatibility plan, etc.). Additionally, neither Alternative 3 nor the Proposed Project would result in the division or alteration of an existing community. However, under the existing General Plan, the City would have less of an ability to direct specific development changes to ensure that new development is well- connected and compatible with surrounding uses. The Proposed Project includes increased policy direction for the City overall, as well as specific policies for land use in both “ Special Use District” and future Village areas, neither of which is found within the policies of the existing General Plan. Similar to the Proposed Project, development proposed under Alternative 3 would need to be consistent with existing plans and policies. For these reasons, the land use impacts of Alternative 3 are considered to be similar to those of the Proposed Project. Mineral Resources Alternative 3 would result in less development than the Proposed Project, so there would be fewer potential land use incompatibilities and development of land with the potential to contain local mineral resources. Policy guidance in the existing General Plan is similar to that provided under the Proposed Project. Overall, impacts to mineral resources are considered similar to those identified for the Proposed Project. City of Lincoln General Plan Update City of Lincoln General Plan Update 10- 38 ESA / 202078 Draft Environmental Impact Report October 2006 Noise Under Alternative 3, the City would continue to function under the direction of the existing General Plan. Consequently, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer jobs, dwelling units, and residents than the Proposed Project. These reductions in dwelling units and other types of development would also result in higher noise levels of both mobile and stationary noise sources over existing levels, although not as high as those anticipated under the Proposed Project ( see Table 10- 9). However, Alternative 3 would also result in a significant and unavoidable impact because growth could still contribute additional sources of noise and vibration that would exceed local standards. Public Services ( including Recreation) and Utilities As previously described, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project. This lower level of population growth and development would result in similar although slightly lesser impacts to the public services and utilities in the City that would be required to adequately serve the levels of development projected under this alternative. Similar to any other development in areas of new growth, the construction of future public service and utility facilities could result in the permanent conversion of open space lands. Without definitive plans, it can not be determined at this time whether such conversion of land would be substantial and would therefore have to be characterized as significant and unavoidable. As with the Proposed Project, mechanisms to reduce such impacts to less than significant may not exist. Due to this uncertainty, potential impacts resulting from construction and/ or expansion of public service and utility facilities are also considered significant and unavoidable at this time. Transportation/ Traffic Under Alternative 3, the transportation analysis assumed residential buildout within the area covered by the City’s existing Sphere of Influence, which would have less development, and thus trip generation, than the Proposed Project. As shown in Table 10- 15 residential buildout of this alternative would generate approximately 568,000 vehicle “ trip ends” on an average weekday. However, summing up the trip ends generated by this alternative’s uses will “ double- count” those trips that remain within the existing General Plan area. The Placer County Travel Demand Model avoids the double counting of these trips. An estimated 32.0 percent of the vehicle trip ends shown in Table 10- 15 would remain within the existing General Plan area ( such as travel between the residential development and the retail, office and school uses). When the double- counting of these trips is eliminated, the number of trips generated by Alternative 3 is estimated at approximately 430,000 daily vehicle trips. Of these, approximately 138,000 daily vehicle trips would remain within the existing Sphere of Influence and 292,000 daily vehicle trips would travel to/ from external destinations. 10.

As previously described, buildout of the City’s existing Sphere of Influence would result in fewer jobs, dwelling units and residents than the Proposed Project. Average daily traffic volumes on local and regional roadways generated by development proposed under Alternative 3 ( and in comparison to the Proposed Project) are provided in Tables 10- 11 and 10- 16.
