4. (continued) III Facts: The adoption of the proposal contained within GP-81-2 will provide for commercial and office uses to be located between the park location and the Interstate 680 noise source. Significant Effect: Placement of residential uses adjacent to potentially noisy commercial and/or residential areas. Findings: The adoption of measures to reduce such noise and land use conflicts will mitigate this impact. Facts: Development standards to be used during the design review process for these critical areas shall include measures to buffer and/or to provide compatibility between residential and adjacent commercial land uses. Significant Effect: Circulation system changes would likely place industrial traffic on streets adjoining residences (Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard) and create unacceptable noise levels. Findings: The adoption of revisions to the overall circulation network will mitigate this impact. Facts: The adoption of the circulation network based on the North Pleasanton Traffic Study, the elimination of the proposal to realign Stoneridge Drive and West Las Positas Boulevard pending an overall circulation network review, and the elimination of the proposed residential area along West Las Positas Boulevard will reduce conflicts between industrial- related circulation noises and residential land uses. Significant Effect: Relocation of existing City corporation yard. Finding: The adoption of an alternative location for the residential use proposed will allow the corporation yard to be retained. Facts: The reduction of area for residential uses and an alternative adjacent location will result in adequate area remaining for the continued operation of the corporation yard. Significant Effect: Reduction in neighborhood and community park land below City policy. Finding: A re-evaluation of General Plan recreation goals and policies will mitigate this impact. Facts: Park land will be similar to that now existing per person, although below that called for in the General Plan. Finding: Private recreation areas to be required of new development increase the effective recreation area in the City available to persons, offsetting the loss of public recreation areas. Facts: City will require large developments, particularly high density developments, to include privately maintained recreational areas for the use of their residents.
