11 <br />12. <br />13 <br />14 <br />(continued). <br />Finding: Economic and social considerations make the <br />"no project" or reduced scale project alternatives, which <br />would result in less impacts on air quality, infeasible. <br />Facts: The scale of the project is necessary in maintaining <br />the marketability of the site in order to provide increased <br />employment opportunities to the local community and to <br />increase the tax base of the City. <br />Significant Effect: Increased energy consumption will <br />occur as the result of site activities and projected commute <br />trips. <br />Finding: Provisions for reducing automobile commuting and <br />encouraging alternative-means of transportation will reduce <br />vehicle miles travelled and energy consumption. <br />Facts: The developers will be required to provide for a <br />program of coordinated, alternative transportation systems for <br />employees throughout the site, including vanpooling, carpooling, <br />and alternative work hours. <br />Finding: Incorporation of solar energy measures in building <br />design will reduce energy consumption. <br />Facts: The utilization of passive and active solar energy <br />measures will be required for all buildings to the maximum <br />extent feasible. <br />Finding: Economic and social considerations make the reduced <br />scale or "no project" alternatives, which would result in <br />reduced energy consumption, infeasible. <br />Facts: The scale of the project is necessary in maintaining <br />the marketability of the site in order to provide increased <br />employment opportunities to the local community and to <br />increase the tax base of the City. <br />Significant Effect: Water supply requirements will exceed <br />existing distribution capacity. <br />Finding: The required water supply and distribution system <br />facilities will be constructed in conjunction with development. <br />Facts: The developers will be required to restrict site <br />development until adequate water supplies facilities and long <br />range requirements have been determined to be adequately <br />achieved. <br />Significant Effect: Project uses would generate sewage <br />effluent beyond capacity available to the site. <br />Finding: The allocation of sewage disposal capacity is made <br />in regional context and is the responsibility of other public <br />agencies (Dublin-San Ramon Services District; possibly <br />Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District - <br />Zone 7). <br />
