The document criticizes the environmental impact report (EIR) for a development project, noting several issues: 1) It copies and pastes incorrect student generation rate data from other sources. 2) It does not account for any new students from the large amount of proposed office space. 3) It incorrectly concludes the school impact will be less than significant even though the majority of new residents will come from housing units concentrated in school attendance areas, overcrowding those schools. 4) The proposed mitigation plan of adding two-story classrooms is insufficient and unrealistic.

EIR?

2. Really? Copy & Paste Errors
• According to both FUHSD and Planning Committee, this
is the data source of EIR analysis on school impacts

5. Employment?
4,040,231sf office space 2428 housing units
How many students generated by employment used in EIR?
0

6. A Look at the Data
Small number city wide, hence EIR concludes the
impact on school is LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT
Majority of increase is coming
from new housing
Only TRUE if new housing units
are distributed evenly across
scholl attendance area

7. Classroom = School?
Mitigation Plan
Two story class room
NONE

8. Conclusion on School Impact:
LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT?
• Even based on grossly underestimated enrollment,
the conclusion of school impact should be
SIGNIFICANT and UNAVOIDABLE
• The new housing units significantly increase the
enrollments of the neighborhood schools
• There is no feasible mitigation strategy to meet
the state school standards

What would we find here?
Please don’t vote on GPA until we have a credible EIR
