Water Agency or the City of Pleasanton's Utility Planning Division that water is available for the project. To receive the verification, the applicant may need to offset the project's water demand. This approval does not guarantee the availability of sufficient water capacity to serve the project. Site(s) affected: All (Draft SEIR, pp. 4.L-13 to 4.L-16.) K. Significant Impacts That Cannot be Mitigated to a Less Than Significant Level The following significant impacts cannot be mitigated to a less-than-significant level, even with the implementation of the identified mitigation measures set forth below. No mitigation is feasible that would mitigate these impacts to a less-than-significant level. The City has determined that the impacts identified below are acceptable because of overriding economic, legal, social or other considerations, as described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations. As required by CEQA, a Statement of Overriding Considerations is presented in Section II below in addition to these findings. 1. Cultural Resources Impact 4.D-1 Development facilitated by the General Plan Amendment and rezonings has the potential to adversely change the significance of historical resources. The SEIR evaluates the impact of the proposed project related to the potential to adversely change the significance of historical resources. Construction activities such as grading and excavation associated with development on the potential sites for rezoning identified in the proposed Housing Element could potentially affect known historic or cultural resources. Specifically, Site 6 is the location of an ice house and farmhouse complex that may be historic as they are more than 50 years old and Site 21 includes an early 20th century home within an historic neighborhood identified in the General Plan. Significance Before Mitigation: Significant Significance After Mitigation: Significant and Unavoidable Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in or incorporated into the Project, however, the changes would not reduce this impact to a less than significant level. Mitigation Measures 4.D-1a and 4.0-lb are required in or incorporated into the Project. Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts and mitigation measures indicate that the impact will not be reduced to less than significant. 1. Cultural resources would be directly adversely affected by development on the potential sites for rezoning if they are demolished to make way for new housing, or indirectly affected, through incompatible design of new development adjacent to the resource.
