Resolution No. 2756 February 12, 1986 Page 2 Proposed Environmental Impact Findings I. Land Use. A. Significant Effect. Increased traffic congestion near land uses to the west of the Project at the Hopyard Road/Owens Drive intersection and east of the Project at the Owens Drive/West Las Positas Boulevard intersection. a.l Finding. Traffic impacts can be mitigated by measures incorporated into the Project and adopted by local governmental agencies. a.2 Fact. See Section III (Transportation and Circulation Mitigation). a.3 Finding. The No Project Alternative and the Reduced Intensity Alternative, which could partially mitigate the significant effect, are infeasible. These alternatives are unnecessary because mitigation measures incorporated into the Project and available to local agencies substantially lessen the effect. a.4 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of alternatives) and Section III (Transportation and Circulation Mitigation). B. Significant Effect. Loss of lands available for agricultural use. b.l Finding. The No Project Alternative, which could delay or partially mitigate the significant effect, is infeasible. b.2 Fact. See Section XII (infeasibility of the No Project Alternative). C. Significant Effect. Increase in noise levels on Owens Drive in the vicinity of Andrews Drive and West Las Positas Boulevard, where the future Valley Memorial Hospital and private apartments are planned. c.l Finding. Noise impacts can be reduced to a satisfactory level by measures incorporated into the Project. c.2 Fact. See Section V (Noise Mitigation). c.3 Finding. The No Project Alternative, Mixed Use Alternative and Reduced Intensity Alternative, which could partially mitigate the significant effect, are infeasible. These alternatives are unnecessary because the mitigation measures which
