EXHIBIT "B" <br /> <br /> Environmental Impact Findings <br /> <br />1. Significant Effect: Potential incompatibility with planned <br /> [ospital site. <br /> <br /> Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation <br /> materials will reduce interior noise to acceptable levels. <br /> <br /> Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct <br /> accoustical analyses in the area of Santa Rita Road and <br /> West Las Positas Boulevard to determine necessary noise <br /> mitigation measures. <br /> <br />2. Sidnificant Effect: Regional pressures to increase quantity <br /> of available residential land ~nd densities of allowed <br /> residential development. <br /> <br /> Finding: Pleasanton's local zoning and growth management <br /> procedures remain intact: mitigating this effect in <br /> Pleasanton; other jurisidctions exercise independent land <br /> use authority to manage growth. <br /> <br /> Fact: Market forces dictate that employment centers <br /> develop only where an adequate supply of workers reside <br /> withn a reasonable commutinE distance. <br /> <br /> Fact: Growth rates, locations, and densities are regulated <br /> by governmental agencies' land planning functions. <br /> <br /> 3. Significant Effect: Development will be located on potentially <br /> hnstable or expansive soils and in an area of high ground- <br /> shaking potential. <br /> <br /> Finding: The imDlementation of soils and engineer's <br /> recommendations and incorporation of building code require- <br /> ments in construction will mitigate these impacts. <br /> <br /> Facts: Importation of non-expansive soils, selective <br /> grading procedureS, etc. woul~ be supervised by engineering <br /> staff while appropriate earthquake resistant design <br /> standards in the Uniform Building Code would minimize <br /> earthquake impacts. <br /> <br /> Findings: The restricted grading schedule, efforts to <br /> revegetate disturbed, erodable slopes, and provision for <br /> installation of on-site retention basins will reduce <br /> erosion potential. <br /> <br /> <br />
