<br />the Project would not be approved and indus- <br />trial/commercially zoned lands would be rezoned <br />to residential uses. The Residential Community <br />Alternative is inconsistent with the Land Use <br />and Housing Element policies of the General <br />Plan. Demand for community services would grow <br />without increased revenues generated by indus- <br />trial and commercial development. The Residen- <br />tial Community Alternative has the potential to <br />generate significant adverse air, traffic, and <br />energy effects as a result of continued out- <br />commute. <br /> <br />d.3 Fact. The street and utility infrastructure has <br />been completed and sized for development of uses <br />and intensities as planned. Liens resulting <br />from assessments to finance the infrastructure <br />mandate development of commercial and industrial <br />uses at proposed densities. <br /> <br />E. Reduced Intensity of Development Alternative. <br /> <br />e.l Finding. The Reduced Intensity of Development <br />Alternative is infeasible. <br /> <br />e.2 Fact. Under the Reduced Intensity of Develop- <br />ment Alternative, neither the Amendment nor the <br />Project would be approved. City would adopt <br />amendments to the Land Use and GME Elements <br />whereby allowable intensity of development in <br />the North Pleasanton area would be reduced. <br />Goal 2 of the Growth Management Element states <br />that development should occur in an efficient, <br />logical and orderly fashion. Given projected <br />demand, reduced intensity of development would <br />result in development being scattered throughout <br />the region. This can result in adverse impacts <br />as it would preclude efficient use of completed <br />infrastructure and reduce the likelihood of <br />efficient use of transit mitigations. Projects <br />must be economically capable of supporting <br />assessments for requisite capital improvements <br />and community services. A reduced intensity of <br />use would result in a reduction of tax base and <br />a reduction of City's ability to assess those <br />properties for needed capital improvements. <br />Liens resulting from assessments to finance the <br />infrastructure mandate development of commercial <br />and industrial uses at proposed densities. <br /> <br />22. <br />
