EXHIBIT A Siqnificant Effects and Pindinqs For purposes of this Exhibit, the Hacienda Business Park is referred to as the "Project" and the Amendment to the Growth Management Element is referred to as the "Amendment". I. Land Use and Planning. A. Siqnificant Effect. potential regional surplus of land committed to commercial/industrial development resulting in delay in Project buildout or abandonment of Project in partially built state. a.l Finding. Area phasing of project development is infeasible due to economic considerations. a.2 Fact. Developer has completed in-tract streets and utilities for the entire Project. Allowing Developer to develop and market the project as market conditions dictate will minimize the likelihood of delay in Project buildout or aban- donment of the Project in a partially built state. Different uses are located throughout the Project making phased development by area impractical. a.3 Fact. The project is located at the inter- section of 1-580 and 1-680, an area well suited for large scale urban infill and more likely than less favored locations to build-out as scheduled. a.4 Fact. The notion of phased project development is inconsistent with city's requirement that the public improvements related to the project be built in one phase. a.5 Findinq. The Residential Community Alternative, Reduced Intensity of Development Alternative, No project Alternative or Mixed Use Alternative could partially mitigate the potential signi- ficant effect. However, each of these Alterna- tives is infeasible. 1.
