the hillside should remain as open space in perpetuity, in accordance with the City's general Plan land use designation of the site. Additionally, proper maintenan= of the hillside open space must occur to prevent potential hazards of landslides, soil creep, wildland fires, etc. due to negligence or lack of a maintenance program for the open space area. DEGREE: Potentially Significant. FINDING: The Commission finds that property-owners' granting of a conservation easement over the 44 acres of hillside open space, in favor of the City, will be effective in assuring retainment of the open space area (Condition 9, modification of MM 3b [part 1]). The Commission finds that requiring a homeowners' association to provide for landslide/soils maintenance, fue management of hillside open space, etco (Condition 8, modification of MM 3b [part 1]) with the developer required to prepare the open space management program (MM 3f) 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. No public. on-site amenities wIthe nrooosed above ave~e density IMPACT: The Commission finds that the lack of public, on-site amenities with the proposed above average density is a potentially significant impact as the project does not conform fo General Plan policies. DEGREE: Potentially Significant. FINDING: The Commission finds that implementation of a 54-unit development plan (near- average density) will be effective in reducing this impact to a less than significant level, due to the proximity of the EBRPD Ridglands Regional Park and the City's Augustine Bernal Park which provide susfficient open space amenities for future residents. The City's General Plan does not require that a project constructed at average density provide public, on-site open space amenities. The Commission finds that such a measure is feasible, and has 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. 4. Non-conformance wlWest Foothill Road Corridor Over~ District IMPACT: The Commission finds that although lack of conformity with the WFRCOD ordinance standards would not create an adverse environmental impact regarding land use, per se, but since the City adopted these standards to protect the character of Foothill Road and ensure that the impacts of residential development are minimized, the Commission does fmd that lack of conformance with the WFRCOD may have an adverse effect on the environment. DEGREE: Potentially Significant. -2- II .
