EXHIBIT C CEQAFINDINGS FOR PUD-89-17l0AK TREE FARM RESOLUTION NO. PC-92-1S The Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Draft SEIR) has identified a number of significant or potentially significant environmental impacts of the proposed 69-lot development plan for the 91 acre site located at 8015 Foothill Road. The Planning Commission, as a decision-making body, must make written findings explaining how it has addressed each significant environmental impact and each alternative identified in the Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Report (Final SEIR). The Final SEIR consists of the Draft SEIR, response to comments and any changes in the Draft. If the Planning Commission adopts a mitigation measure different from one recommended in the SEIR, the Commission must find that the adopted measure will effect the same reduction in impact as the recommended measure. Land Use and Planning Impacts 10 Proiect exceeds avera~e density and holdin2 caoacity IMPACT: The Planning Commission finds that exceeding the average density of the site's General Plan land use designations and exceeding the holding capacity of the site as defined in the City's General Plan, is a significant impacto DEGREE: Potentially Significant. fINDING: The Commission finds that the proximity of the site to the East Bay Regional Park District's Ridgelands Regional Park and the City's Augustine Bernal Park is sufficient in that these parks provide open space adequate to off-set the implementation of a plan which results in 54 units, such as the plan as outlined in condition 7, which will achieve near average density on the site and that these measures 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. 2. Unassured retainment and maintenance of (hillsid~ o,pen ~ace IMP ACT: The Planning Commission finds that unassured retainment of the hillside open space is a potentially significant impact, as the hillside area has been used in calculating development density for the project area and the Commission feels that the open space areas on -1- II .
