b.8 Fact. Caltrans can construct improvements to I-680 from Sunol to Alamo not presently included in the STIP, as described in Section C of the EIR (Transportation and Circulation). b.9 Finding. The No Project Alternative, the Reduced Intensity Alternative, and the Mixed Use Alternative, which could partially mitigate the significant traffic effects, are infeasible. The alternatives are unnecessary because the mitigation measures which have been incorporated into the Project or are under the jurisdiction of other public agencies will substantially lessen the effect. b.10 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of alternatives) and Sections III.a.2, III.a.8, and III.b.l (Traffic and Circulation). b.ll Finding. Increasing local housing opportunities will lessen regional traffic impacts. b.12 Fact. Additional housing has been recommended for Pleasanton and has been included in a draft General Plan revision. IV. Air Quality. A. Significant Effect. Generation of local and regional vehicular emissions related to commute trips in a non-attainment area for oxidant pollution. a.l Finding. Mitigation measures incorporated into the Project to lessen traffic congestion will substantially lessen the effect. a.2 Fact. See Sections III.a.2, III.a.3, and III.a.4. a.3 Finding. Improvement of the City's circulation system and construction of local arterial improvements included in the NPID should significantly lessen the effect. a.4 Fact. See III.a.5 and III.a.6. a.5 Fact. Mitigation measures identified in the EIR to reduce traffic and thus lessen the effect in air quality are subject to the jurisdiction of other public agencies. See Sections III.b.l through III.b.B. a.6 Finding. Monitoring air quality impacts on a project-by-project basis as North Pleasanton develops ensures that state and federal standards for primary pollutants are met. - 16 -
