as the project site is currently designated for residential use, and such residential use may be more compatible with the future residential development on surrounding properties than would be a continuation of current horse grazing; and 5. The social, economic and derived from the project, as statement of Overriding (Section v, hereinafter), obtained. benefits to be discussed in the considerations would not be B. Reduced Development Alternative The purpose of this alternative would be to sUbstantially reduce most site-related impacts by eliminating development in most areas of environmental constraints. This alternative would also feature more emphasis on custom homes in appropriate parts of the site. specific features of this plan include the following: . Number of lots: (a minimum of projectl approximately 86 lots or less 63 less than the proposed . Gross density: 0.8 with the proposed du/acrel du/acre or less (compared project density of 1.5 . Custom homes proposed on 22 or more lots. In comparison with the 149 unit development plan, as initially proposed, impacts would be moderately to substantially reduced in the following categories: traffic, visual, vegetation and wildlife, public services and facilities, geotechnical and noise. However, the Reduced Development Al ternati ve includes the possible extension of a collector street across the site for an improved circulation system in the southeast Pleasanton area. As stated in the FEIR (p. 11-5l, extending this collector street through the Bonde property would have a major effect on the environment, including alteration of traffic patterns, visual impacts of massive "cut" slopes through Bonde ridge, impacts to vegetation and wildlife, and increased grading, geotechnical, and drainage impacts. Finding: Feasible
