A summary of impacts of the project, as determined by the EIS process including <br />relevant studies conducted, and public input, are as follows: <br />Significant Impacts that cannot be mitigated: <br />• Loss of Industrial Lands (42.5 acres) <br />Impacts for which mitigation would be substantial and have an significant impact <br />on school children: <br />• The Mukilteo School District does not have the capacity for new <br />students in their nearby schools, so students would be need to be <br />bused to schools with capacity. Over time school service boundaries <br />may need to be reviewed and changed, which is an impact on families <br />with students in those areas which would need to change schools. <br />This is the current situation and can change over time due to changes <br />in enrollment numbers in future years. School capacity is an issue and <br />an agreement would have to be developed between the School <br />Districts and the developer of the residential units, for mitigation of <br />school impacts. <br />Impacts for which mitigation can reasonably be provided: <br />• Traffic impacts can be mitigated. The proposal includes traffic circles, <br />turn lanes added and other upgrades as needed. See Traffic <br />engineer's comments in Chapter 3 and Appendix B. <br />• Sewers, a sewer line in Mukilteo Boulevard would need to be <br />upgraded to a larger diameter size. <br />Noise and odor easements would be required on residential units on the CEMEX site <br />to inform potential owners and tenants of their location near industrial uses and an <br />airport. There may be additional mitigation, such as construction techniques which <br />would lessen noise in the residential units. This would be determined if the industrial <br />land policies are amended and approval is given to move ahead with a mixed <br />use/residential development, as proposed in the revised site plan. <br />Introduction <br />
