9. (continued) Finding: Phasing of project buildout in conjunctioh with necessary improvements will reduce the impacts of 'increased traffic levels. Facts: The phasing of construction and cor~.-esponding traffic- related improvements will provide for gradual accommodation of capacity neec]s and prevent congestion beyond acceptable service levels. Finding: Economic, social, and environmental considerations make further reductions in the scale of the project infeasible. Facts: The scale of the project is necessary in mai'ntaining the marketability o.f the site in order to provide increased employment opportunities to the local conununity and to increase the tax base of the City. 10. Significant Effect: Ioncrease in traffic levels will create unacceptable noise levels affecting existing residential areas. ' ' Finding: The use of construction techniques, insulation materials, and soundwalls will reduce noj. se to acceptable. level s Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct accoustical analyses in the residential areas to actermine and fund necessary noise mitigatjon measures. Finding: Economic and social considerations make elimination- of traffic-related noise increases infeasible.' Fac~s': The scale and types of uses proposed for the project arenecessary in maintaining the marketability of the site in order to provide increased emplo~nent opportunities to the local community and to increase the tax base of the City. Noise.level increases from very quiet levels to urban levels, but still within standards, is unaboidable with development. 11. Significant Effect; Increase in construction activities, vehicle use, and industrial emissions will affect air 'quality. Finding: Adherence to an approved dust control plan will mitigate the potential of suspended particulates exceeding standards. Fact: The dust control plan will be required for submittal' as part of the improvement plans and will provide f'o~'the maintenance and/or revegetation of disturbed areas as quickly as possible. Finding: Mitigation measures are also within the jurisdiction of another public agency (Bay Area Air Quality Management District).
