EXHIBIT C ENVIRONMEntAL D~ACT FINDINGS For Case GP-80-8 and General Plan policies, population goal and percent multiple dwelling units particularly. Finding: Project as approved removes inconsistency between land use map and other General Plan policies. A re-evaluation of General Plan goals and policies or further adjustments in land use acreages will mitigate this impact. Facts: Project as approved deletes substantial high density areas (areas 1 and 7 particularly) while reducing others (13) and retains significant medium denisty areas (expressly areas 15 and 16), reconciling land use areas with policies. In light of these land use changes and the reduced size of City households, the re-evaluation of goals and policies relating to population, density, residential mix policies or adjustment of land use acreages elsewhere in the planning area will reduce the inconsistency in policies. Significant Effect: Increase in traffic within existing developed City area. Finding: Adoption of revisions to the Circulation Element of the General Plan to reflect changing needs will reduce the impacts of increased traffic in specific areas. Facts: The incorporation into the Circulation Element of the General Plan of recommendations resulting from the analysis of traffic in the north Pleasanton area will reflect the needs of these areas. Significant Effect: Potential loss of site for BART station near Stoneridge Shopping Center. Finding: Realigned route maintains a BART station in principle near Stoneridge. Facts: Realigned route provides for a BART station near Stoneridge Shopping Center Significant Effect: Location of park (Area 2) is located in an unacceptable noise level area. Finding: Adequate buffering measures incorporated at time of development will mitigate noise impacts.
