Bringhurst LLC at 990 Sycamore Road <br /> Initial Study and Negative Declaration <br /> Less Than <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Impact With Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Issues Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> Would the project: <br /> a) Would the project increase the use of existing X <br /> neighborhood and regional parks or other <br /> recreational facilities such that substantial physical <br /> deterioration of the facility would occur or be <br /> accelerated? <br /> b) Does the project include recreational facilities or X <br /> require the construction or expansion of recreational <br /> facilities which might have an adverse physical effect <br /> on the environment? <br /> DISCUSSION <br /> a) The project would result in an incremental increase in the use of existing <br /> neighborhood and regional parks and other recreational facilities. However, <br /> the addition of four households is not expected to result in substantial physical <br /> deterioration of the facilities. Moreover, the project is required to contribute a <br /> per unit Capital Facility Fee which helps to fund capital improvements to public <br /> facilities, including parks. As a result, the potential impact would be less than <br /> significant. <br /> b) The project includes the construction of a small segment of public trail along <br /> the project's Sycamore Road frontage, consistent with the City's Trails Master <br /> Plan. The proposed four new single-family homes would not require the <br /> construction or expansion of recreational facilities in the City. Therefore, the <br /> potential impact would be less than significant. <br /> 5.16. TRANSPORTATION AND TRAFFIC <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING <br /> Access to the project would be from two existing streets: Sycamore Road and <br /> Sycamore Creek Way. Pedestrian access to the project would be provided by new <br /> trail on Sycamore Road and the existing sidewalk on Sycamore Creek Way. <br /> STANDARDS OF SIGNIFICANCE <br /> For purposes of this environmental document, an impact is considered significant if <br /> the proposed project would: <br /> 41 <br />ions <br /> need to be poured early due to weather conditions). Construction equipment <br /> would be required to meet Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) noise <br /> standards and be equipped with muffling devices. As a result, these items <br /> would be less than significant. <br /> e,f) The project site is approximately five miles from the Livermore Municipal <br /> Airport, outside of the airport land use plan area, and not within the vicinity of <br /> a private airstrip. Therefore, this would be categorized as no impact. <br /> 36 <br />tudies found that the proposed development would result in slight increase <br /> in surface water flow into Sycamore Creek, but the increase is not considered <br /> to be significant and would not result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or <br /> 31 <br />event landslides, lateral spreading, subsidence, <br /> liquefaction and collapse on the project site.
