10: Sijnificant Effect: Increased energy consumption will <br />occur as the result of site activities and projected <br />commute trips. <br />Finding: Provisions for reducing automobile commuting and <br />encouraging alternative means of transportation will <br />reduce vehicle miles travelled and energy consumption. <br />Facts: The developers are required to provide for a <br />program of coordinated, alternative transportation systems <br />for employees throughout the site, including vanpooling, <br />carpooling, and alternative work hours. <br />Finding: Incorporation of solar energy measures in building <br />design will reduce energy consumption. <br />Facts: The utilization of passive and active solar energy <br />measures will be required for all buildings to the maximum <br />extent feasible. <br />Finding: Economic and social considerations make the <br />reduced scale or "no project" alternatives, which would <br />result in reduced energy consumption, 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 couununity and to <br />increase the tax base of the City. <br />11. Significant Effect: Water supply requirements will exceed <br />existing distribution capacity. <br />Finding: The required water supply and distribution system <br />facilities_ will be constructed in conjunction with develop- <br />ment, mitigating any impact. <br />Facts: The developers are required to restrict site <br />development until adequate water supplies facilities and <br />long range 'requirements have been determined to be adequately <br />achieved, <br />12 Significant Effect: Project uses would generate sewage <br />efTtient 137-2 capacity available to the site. <br />Finding: Project conditions mitigate potential impacts. <br />Facts: Building -by- building approval process ensures <br />control over capacity; conditions guarantee no guarantee <br />of sewer capacity is included in the approval, <br />Finding: Additional capacity would mitigate impacts. <br />Facts: Expanded facilities are being discussed by <br />..any responsible agencies; an EIR would be required <br />before any expansion could be made. <br />-5- <br />
