E}HtIB.[T "A~ <br /> <br /> Environmental Impact Findin5~! <br /> <br /> 1. Significant Effect: Potential incompatibility with planned <br /> hQspital <br /> <br /> Finding: The use of construction techniques' and insulation <br /> materials will reduce j. nterior noise to acceptable'levels. <br /> <br /> Facts:' The project developers will be rc{7. uired to conduct <br /> accoustical analyses in the; area of Santa Rita Road and West <br /> Las Positas Boulevard .to determine neces~rar?~.~ noise mitigation <br /> measures. <br /> <br /> 2. Significant Effect: Regional pressures to.inCrease quantity <br /> of available residential land and 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 jurisdictions exercise independent <br /> land 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 /> within a reasonable commuting 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 /> unstable or expansive soils and in'~an'area of high'groundshaking <br /> potential. <br /> <br /> Finding: The implementation of soils engineer's.recommendations <br /> and incorporation of building code requirements in construction. <br /> will mitigate these impacts. <br /> <br /> Facts: -ImpOrtation of non-expansive soils, selective grading <br /> procedures, etc. would be supervised by engineering staff <br /> while appropria'te earthquake resistant design standards in <br /> the Uniform Building Code would minimize earthquake impacts. <br /> <br /> Finding: The restricted grading schedule, efforts to revegetate <br /> disturbed, erodable slopes, and provision for installation <br /> of on-site retention basins will reduce erosion potential.-. <br /> Facts: Land preparation activities will be restricted to <br /> non-rainy periods (generally April - November) while exposed, <br /> erodable slopes will be hy~lromulched and sediment retention <br /> .b~sins installed as part of an overall erosion control plan <br /> intended to reduce erosion and deposj. tion of sediment into <br /> adjacent creeks. <br /> <br /> <br />
