Moreover. the Project provides additional housing not only to meet Pleasanton's share of regional housing needs. but also to meet Pleasanton's own share of affordable housing for its residents and future residents. The City Council therefore finds that the unmitigated impacts - the loss of prime agricultural land, and the potential injury/loss of life/damage to structures due to earthquakes - are outweighed by the need to provide additional residential, commercial and office needs, to provide for a mix of different types of housing in the City, and to provide adequate locations for housing of all types throughout the City. B. Additional City Services and Facilities. The City Council finds that the Project provides and enhances planned additional City services and facilities. For example, future developments are intended to provide one or more public golf courses, additional community parks to augment the City wide system of community parks and facilities, a fire station to serve the south end of Pleasanton, the extension of major streets and anerials to serve the traffic needs of the community, and an enhanced public trail system. The Project will also enhance the City's ability to provide an adequate transportation system, adequate flood control, and other infrastructure benefits. Fees collected from development will be a substantial source of funding for needed public improvements and the development of new school sites. The City Council further finds that the Project will enhance the City's ability to provide adequate services by providing increased property tax revenues from development. The City Council therefore finds that the unmitigated impacts - the loss of prime agricultural land, and the potential injury/loss of life/damage to structures due to earthquakes - are outweighed by the need to provide additional city services and facilities. 2
