Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br />5.11. MINERAL RESOURCES <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br />The project site is urbanized and mineral extraction would be infeasible. <br />STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br />the proposed project would: <br />0 Result in the depletion of a mineral resource. <br />Issues <br />Mineral Resources <br />Would the project: <br />a) Result in the loss of availability of a known mineral <br />resource that would be of value to the region and <br />the residents of the state? <br />b) Result in the loss of availability of a locally important <br />mineral resource recovery site delineated on a local <br />general plan, specific plan or other land use plan? <br />Potentially <br />Significant <br />Impact <br />Less Than <br />Significant <br />Impact With Less Than <br />Mitigation Significant No <br />Incorporated Impact Impact <br />X <br />X <br />DISCUSSION <br />a -b. The project site is not known to contain any mineral resources and thus the <br />proposed project would not result in the loss of the availability of locally <br />important mineral resources. Therefore, these would be no- impact. <br />5.12. NOISE <br />ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br />External noise sources that could affect the site include traffic noise from the <br />adjacent Interstate freeway and freeway off -ramp, City streets, and adjacent land <br />uses (which consist of office and retail uses). In addition, project - related noise <br />could increase ambient noise levels. <br />Standards of Significance <br />For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br />the proposed project would: <br />36 <br />
