5.a.1. iF naina: The revised plan and project <br />conditions of approval substantially lessen <br />these impacts. <br />Fact: Elimination of development on upper <br />south knoll removes area of greatest <br />cut/fill effects of steepening slopes. <br />Fact: "Mass graded" area on central bench is <br />designed to minimize effects of <br />landslide repair/pad grading described <br />above. <br />Fact: North knoll grading yields all cut <br />pads. <br />Fact: Project conditions require extensive <br />geologic and soils testing (including <br />review of all suggested mitigations) <br />plus review by City reviewing geologist <br />prior to approval of final lot location <br />and grading. <br />Fact: The developer's engineering geologist <br />has stated the project, as revised, can <br />satisfactorily be constructed given <br />project site geology. <br />5.a.2. Finding: The "No Project" alternative <br />is infeasible and other project alternatives <br />have similar effects. <br />Fact: See 3.a.1. above. <br />S.B. Significant Effect: The site has high potential for <br />moderate to strong seismic shaking and surface rupture <br />along its eastern edge. <br />5.b.1. Finding: The revised plan and project <br />conditions substantially lessen these impacts. <br />Fact: The project observes the Calaveras Fault <br />setback zone established by the project <br />geologist. <br />Fact: Utilities crossing the fault zone are <br />required to be specially designed. <br />Fact: The Building Code <br />built to seismic <br />this area. <br />requires structures be <br />shaking standards for <br />-8- <br />
