DEGREE: Significant. FINDING: Although the SEIR recommends implementation of the Reduced Grading Alternative (MM 6e), the Commission finds that this mitigation measure places too severe a limit on the development potential of the site, especially since the actual limits of landslide repair areas are not definitively known. Therefore, the Commission finds an appropriate mitigating measure is to require preparation of detailed and definitive technical studies, prior to approval of a tentative map, which indicates the extent of landslide repair measures. The Commission may, at that time, elect to require elimination of lots whose creation would require landslide repairs beyond those contemplated by the SEIR (Condition 50). The Commission finds that implementation of this alternative mitigation measure, in combination with other measures requiring replacement of removed trees, etc. (MM 5p, 6c and 6d) are feasible and have been incorporated into the project design or into the project by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the impacts of this project to a less than significant level. 3. Habitat loss/reduction of on-site wildlife IMPACT: The Commission finds that habitat loss and the reduction of on-site wildlife due to development and the introduction of domestic species may have a potentially significant impact. DEGREE: Potentially Significant. FINDING: The Commission finds that implementation of mitigation measures (MM 6h and 6i) limiting the free-ranging of domestic dogs and cats, and prohibiting vehicles (other than maintenance vehicles) from hillside open space areas, are feasible and have been incorporated into the project design or into the project by reference through conditions of approval, and will be effective in reducing the impacts of this project to a less than significant level. Public Services and Facilities 1. Increased daily water demand on the City's water resources IMPACT: The Commission finds that increased demand on the City's water sources may have a significant impact. DEGREE: Potentially Significant. FINDING: The Commission finds that implementation of mitigation measures which can reduce water consumption through installation of water-conserving plumbing fixtures, the use of drought-tolerant and non-water-loving plant species in the landscape designs (MM 7a, 7b and 7c) are feasible and have been incorporated into the project design or into the project by -9- II .
