Finding: Formation and impl.eireintai::ion of assessment districts <br />to provide for system improvements will mitigate impacts. <br />Fact: Assessment district improvements will provide for <br />freeway interchange improvements, freeway and local street <br />widening, traffic control signals, and similar improvements <br />to accommodate increased traffic levels in the North Pleasanton <br />area. <br />Finding: Transit and transportation systems management <br />programs will reduce the traffic levels during commute <br />hours. <br />Fact: Certain companies within the project will be required <br />to participate in a program of vannooling, carpooling, and <br />alternative work -hours in order to reduce the dependence on <br />the single- occupancy vehicle and the traffic congestion. <br />Finding: Phasing of project buildout in conjunction with <br />necessary improvements will reduce the impacts of increased <br />traffic levels. <br />Facts: The phasing of construction and corresponding <br />traffic related improvements will provide for gradual <br />accommodation of capacity needs and prevent congestion <br />beyond acceptable service levels. <br />Finding: Economic, social, and evironmental considerations <br />make further reductions in the scale of the project infeasible. <br />Facts: The scale of the project is necessary in maintaining <br />the marketability of the site in order to provide increased <br />employment opportunities to the local community and to <br />increase the tax base of the City. <br />Significant Effect: Increase in traffic levels will create <br />unaccentahie noise levels affecting existing residential <br />areas. <br />Finding: The use of construction techniques, insulation <br />materials, and soundwalls will reduce noise to acceptable <br />levels. <br />Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct <br />acconstical analyses in the residential areas to determine <br />and fund necessary noise mitigation measures. <br />Finch_;.: Economic and social considerations make elimination <br />of traffic related noise increases infeasible. <br />Fats: The scale and types of uses proposed for the project <br />are necessary in maintaining the *marketability of the site <br />in order to provide increased employment opportunities to <br />-3- <br />
