Myers to a decision of the Director Of Planning requiring the filing Of an EnVironmental Impact Report for the proposed development of 12.7 acre parcel of land located immediately south of the terminus of Las Lomitas Drive and east of Pleasanton School. Section 2. The City Council determines that an Environmental Impact Report should be prepared on the basis that the proposed project will have significant adverse effects upon the environment as shown in the initial study, The following provisions of the initial study indicate the areas in which the project will have significant effects II.1.A, B, C, and G; 2.A; 3.B; 6.A, B; 7; 8; 11; 13.A, B, and C; 15.A; 16.D and E; and 18. Under Section III of the Environmental Impact Report the discussions indicate the following; 1. That the proposal will entail extensive cutting and fill- ing of the land. The proposed development will cause the elimination of an existing knoll and the filling of a natural swell in the property. The proposed project will increase the ambient noise level. The proposed project would generate greater traffic. The proposed two-story 119 unit complex is a departure from the development invisioned under the medium density catagory. The project will cause the construction of a major sewer line extension which would increase the development potential in the area. The project will require the construction of an exten~ sive on-site drainage system which will cause the deposit of on-site storm waters into down stream storm water channels that are unimproved dirt ditches. The site is visible to many residents of the City of Pleasanton and the construction of the complex will have a visual impact upon the City of Pleasanton. Section 3. The City Council further determines that the proposed project does have the potential to degrade the quality of the environ~ ment; does have the potential to achieve short-term qoals to the disadvantaqe of lonq-term environmental goals; the project will have impacts which are individually limited but cumulatively are considerable; and the project will have ~ environmental effects which will cause substantial adverse effects on human beings both directly and indirectly. These determinations are supported by the sections listed above in Section 2 as more particularly delineated in the initial study and the discussion of environmental impacts of the
