Attachment E <br /> <br />Mitigation Measures Planned or Presently Instituted <br /> By Category <br /> <br />Geology/Soils <br /> <br />Faults - The City presently implements the provisions of the <br /> Alquist-Priolo Act which prohibit construction within <br /> fifty (50) feet of a fault trace. <br /> <br />Slope Stability - The adopted Conservation Element of the <br /> General Plan contains a policy restricting construction on <br /> slopes of greater than twenty-five (25) percent; new devel- <br /> opment must be consistent with this policy. Most of the un- <br /> stable slopes in the planning area are now designated as <br /> open space. <br /> <br />Erosion - Currently the provisions of the UBC are enforced which <br /> is adequate for the predominantly flat land thus far developed. <br /> A new, comprehensive grading ordinance is now in draft stage <br /> and is hoped to be adopted within a year. <br /> <br />Agricultural Soils - The adopted Conservation Element contains a <br /> policy the preservation of Class I and II soils wherever pos- <br /> sible; about 200 acres within the City and about 1,650 acres <br /> within the planning area are now designated as agricultural <br /> lands. <br /> <br />History/Archaeology <br /> <br />Grading Regulations - A draft comprehensive grading ordinance has <br /> recently been completed, prior to adoption, the feasibility <br /> of including a section designed to protect historical and <br /> archaeologic sites will be studied. <br /> <br />Recreation <br /> <br />Park Funding - Park acquisition and development are objectives of <br /> the Conservation Element; funds for these purposes are allo- <br /> cated in the 20-year capital improvement schedule. The Park <br /> Land Dedication Ordinance is presently being revised to pro- <br /> Vide more flexibility in park development; the revision should <br /> be completed within several months. <br /> <br />Future Parks - Future parks are shown on the adopted Land Use Map <br /> and it is a Conservation Element policy to proceed with their <br /> acquisition. The City's Park Land Dedication Ordinance, bed- <br /> room tax, and other means are used to acquire these parks. <br /> <br />Aesthetics <br /> <br />Urban Open Space - The adopted General Plan allocates parks through- <br /> out the City, including linear parks/open space along stream <br /> courses and as buffers between various land uses. Existing <br /> zoning and subdivision ordinances require open space areas ac- <br /> company development. <br /> <br />i <br /> <br /> <br />
