<br />Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project that <br />avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Rationale for Finding: Limiting the use of golf course facilities in this manner eliminates <br />the potential for significant golf course-related traffic increases beyond the projections of <br />the EIR. <br /> <br />ALTERATION OF LANDSCAPE CHARACTER <br /> <br />IMPACT 5A: Land alteration and use of the site would affect views for Pleasanton residents. <br />FEIR page 5-14. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measure 5-1: Refine the project site plan to include revisions to the water tank <br />access road alignment, Hearst Drive extension, residential subdivision design, and golf <br />course design. FEIR pages 5-10 through 5-12. <br /> <br />Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project <br />that would avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Rationale for Finding: The mitigation measures include project revisions that would <br />reduce the alteration of landscape character by concealing or reducing visibility of project <br />improvements. <br /> <br />GRADING <br /> <br />IMPACT 5B: Grading for streets, homesites and the golf course would result in a potentially <br />adverse significant impact, particularly the creation of exposed cut and fill slopes in visually- <br />sensitive areas. <br /> <br />Mitigation Measure 5-3. Revise the current grading plan to include grading techniques <br />which relate to natural land contours, clear sight distances, visual concerns, and protection <br />of trees. FEIR page 5-13. <br /> <br />Finding: Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into the project <br />that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the Final EIR. <br /> <br />Rationale for Finding: The proposed grading restrictions will significantly reduce the <br />amount of grading and consequent visual impact. <br /> <br />TREE REMOVAL - VISUAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> <br />IMPACT 5C: A large number of trees would be removed or potentially damaged by proposed <br />grading, with resultant visual impact.
