The Reduced Development Alternative would be environmentally superior to the project and accepts this alternative for the following reasons: 1. Mitigation measures recommended for the project also can be equally and feasibly incorporated into this alternative for development of the project site. In addition, conditions of approval which otherwise would be imposed on the project can be equally imposed on this alternative for development of the project site. Said mitigation measures and conditions of approval have substantially mitigated or will substantially mitigate all of the environmental effects of the alternative to a level of insignificance. 2. The social, economic and other benefits of the project, as indicated in section v, statement of overriding considerations hereinafter, also would apply equally to or to a larger extent to this alternative. 3. To the extent that any impacts of this alternative are not mitigated to a level of insignificance, the social, economic and other consideration of the alternative, as referenced above, outweigh these unavoidable adverse impacts. C. optional site Alternative The San Francisco Water Department property in south Pleasanton was evaluated in the EIR because unavoidable but insignificant environmental impacts are an inescapable consequence of developing the proposed project site. These are identified on page 10-1 of the Final EIR. In comparison to implementation of the project at the proposed project site, the Optional site Alternative would result in a need for a General Plan amendment (the optional site is currently designated open spacel, similar traffic impacts, reduction in visual and vegetation and wildlife impacts, similar public services and facilities impacts, reduced geotechnical impacts, possibly greater hydrologic impacts and greater noise impacts. Finding: Infeasible The City finds the Optional site Alternative is infeasible for the following reasons:
