EXHIBIT fIAt: <br /> <br /> Environmental Impact Findings <br /> <br />I. Land Use. <br /> <br /> A. Significant Effect. Increased traffic congestion near <br /> land uses to the west of the Project at the Hopyard <br /> Road/Owens Drive intersection and east of the Project at <br /> the Owens Drive/West Las Positas Boulevard intersection. <br /> <br /> a.1 Findingt Traffic impacts can be mitigated by <br /> measures incorporated into the Project and adopted <br /> by local governmental agencies. <br /> <br /> a.2 Fact. See Section III (Transportation and <br /> Circulation Mitigation). <br /> <br /> a.3 Finding. The No Project Alternative and the <br /> Reduced Intensity Alternative, which could <br /> partially mitigate the significant effect, are <br /> infeasible. These alternatives are unnecessary <br /> because mitigation measures incorporated into the <br /> Project and available to local agencies <br /> substantially lessen the effect. <br /> <br /> a.4 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of <br /> alternatives) and Section III (Transportation and <br /> Circulation Mitigation). <br /> <br /> B. Significant Effect. Loss of lands available for <br /> agricultural use. <br /> <br /> b.1 Finding. The No Project Alternative, which could <br /> delay or partially mitigate the significant effect, <br /> is infeasible. <br /> <br /> b.2 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of the No <br /> Project Alternative). <br /> <br /> C. Significant Effect. Increase in noise levels on Owens <br /> Drive in the vicinity of Andrews Drive and West Las <br /> Positas Boulevard, where the future Valley Memorial <br /> Hospital and private apartments are planned. <br /> <br /> c.1 Finding. Noise impacts can be reduced to a <br /> satisfactory level by measures incorporated into <br /> the Project. <br /> <br /> c.2 Fact. See Section V (Noise Mitigation). <br /> <br /> c.3 Finding. The No Project Alternative, Mixed Use <br /> Alternative and Reduced Intensity Alternative, <br /> which could partially mitigate the significant <br /> effect, are infeasible. These alternatives are <br /> <br /> - 1 - <br /> <br /> <br />
