EXHIBIT "B" <br />PLANNIPdG COMMISSION RESOLUTION NO. 2174 <br />Environmental Impact Findings <br />1. Significant Effect: Potential incompatibility with planned <br />hospital site. <br />Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation <br />materials will reduce interior noise to acceptable levels. <br />Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct <br />accoustical analyses in the area of Santa Rita Road and West <br />Las Positas Boulevard to determine necessary noise mitigation <br />measures. <br />2. Significant Effect: Regional <br />of available residential land <br />residential development. <br />pressures to,increase quantity <br />and densities of allowed <br />Finding: Local growth management procedures remain intact; <br />other jurisdictions will exercise independent land use <br />authority to manage growth. <br />Fact: Market forces dictate that employment centers develop <br />only where an adequate supply of workers reside within a <br />reasonable commuting distance. <br />3. Significant Effect: Development will be located on potentially <br />unstable or expansive soils and in an area of high groundshaking <br />potential. <br />Finding: The implementation of soils engineer's recommendations <br />and incorporation of building code requirements in construction <br />will mitigate these impacts. <br />Facts: Importation of non-expansive soils, selective grading <br />procedures, etc. would be supervised by engineering staff <br />while appropriate earthquake resistant design standards in <br />the Uniform Building Code would minimize earthquake impacts. <br />Finding: The restricted grading schedule, efforts to revegetate <br />disturbed, erodable slopes, and provision for installation <br />of on-site retention basins will reduce erosion potential. <br />Facts: Land preparation activities will be restricted to <br />non-rainy periods (generally April - November) while exposed, <br />erodable slopes will be hydromulched and sediment retention <br />basins installed as part of an overall erosion control plan <br />intended to reduce erosion and deposition of sediment into <br />adjacent creeks. <br />4. Significant Effect: Use, storage, and transportation of <br />hazardous and toxic substances will be introduced into area. <br />Finding: The establishment of procedures for handling ,and <br />storage of such substances will reduce hazards and potential <br />water quality degradation associated with such uses. <br />
