it would be a violation of CEQA to approve certification of that document without that missing piece.
And I'm going to talk about this a little bit more in system, but I wanted to sort of cut to the chase first.
Now, as we explained in our materials, the city of Palo Alto, as compared to surrounding communities, is uniquely impacted by noise from flights due to the confluence of three major arrival routes that converge at a low altitude right over the city of Palo Alto before veering out across the bay and then into the airport.
That's why Palo Alto is here, but Redwood City or San Mateo or other cities are not here.
There's a unique impact.
on Palo Alto are evidence that we've submitted, pictures worth a thousand words.
You can look at the map that we've attached and included in our materials.
It shows how Palo Alto is uniquely impacted because these flights go right over the city of Palo Alto and impact our community.
And all we're asking for is for analysis and disclosure of noise impacts, including the noise impacts from the future growth in flights that will occur
as accommodated by the ADP.
Now, the EIR seeks to rationalize its refusal to provide any information to the public on future noise increases based upon a fiction.
And it is stating that the ADP will not cause the development of these future expansion projects, will not cause an increase in flights, but they're really only going to accommodate the flights when they occur.
And that this flight increase will happen regardless of whether the ADP is developed.
And the approach it takes, it looks at a 2014 estimate, the FAA and SFO prepared as to the maximum potential capacity of the airport.
And then it assumes that, well, that capacity is going to be reached regardless of whether these projects are approved.
And nothing in the ADP is going to expedite or change the timing of what's going to happen regardless.
It's a very passive and reactive position that it's taking.
And therefore, it seeks to argue that it doesn't need to analyze or disclose noise impacts from future flights because the ADP is not causing those noise impacts.
That's the rationale it uses.
So the major question for the board is whether you find that position to be factually persuasive.
