Facts: Land preparation activities will be restricted to <br /> non-rainy periods (generally April - November) while <br /> exposed, erodable slopes will be hydromulched and sediment <br /> retention basins installed as part of an overall erosion <br /> control plan intended to reduce erosion and deposition <br /> of sediment into adjacent creeks. <br /> <br />4. Significant Effect: Permanent loss of prime and near-prime <br /> agricultural soils to urbanization. <br /> <br /> Finding: Economic, social, and environmental considerations <br /> make the long-term retention of agricultural uses on this <br /> property infeasible. <br /> <br /> Facts: The General Plan designation for this property <br /> has included industrial and commercial uses for several <br /> years and, with close proximity to Interstate 580 and access <br /> to major streets, the maintenance of agricultural uses <br /> under these circumstances is considered marginal. <br /> <br />5o Significant Effect: Change in visual character of the <br /> area. <br /> <br /> Finding: Design review mitigates potential impacts. <br /> Facts: Specific development project elements, including <br /> design, materials use, site orientation, and landscaping <br /> plans will be reviewed for the maintenance and enhancement <br /> of views of and from the site. <br /> Finding: Economic, social, and other considerations make <br /> infeasible alternatives retaining open space/agricultural <br /> use ~ <br /> Fact: The General Plan designation for this property has <br /> included industrial and commercial uses for several years <br /> and, with close proximity to Interstate 580 and access <br /> to major streets, the maintenance of agricultural uses <br /> under these circumstances is considered marginal. <br /> <br /> 6. Significant Effect: Potential regional surplus of land <br /> committed to commercial/industrial development resulting <br /> in delay in project buildout or abandonment of project <br /> in partially built state, <br /> <br /> Finding: Project will proceed on logical basis fulfilling <br /> existing and foreseeable market demand. Options will be <br /> left open for future changes in land use due to step-by-step <br /> approval process. <br /> <br /> 7~ Significant Effect: Increase in traffic volume beyond the <br /> existing circul'~"t'{on system capacity. <br /> <br /> <br />
