amendment to the General Plan (see, e.g., dis- cussion of Tri-Valley Employment Center and increased Residential Capacity Alternatives) or (ii) an amendment to the Project (see, e.g., Reduced Intensity of Development, Partial Ap- proval and Mixed Use Alternatives). Each of these Alternatives is infeasible. Absent adop- tion of one of the foregoing Alternatives, the No Project Alternative to the Amendment results in the No Approval of Project Alternative which is infeasible (see Section XII.F). B. Tri-Valley Employment Center Alternative. b.l Finding. The Tri-Valley Employment Center Al- ternative is an alternative to the Amendment. The Project would be built as provided in the PUA. Because of Pleasanton's location, the Tri- Valley Employment Center Alternative could miti- gate potential significant regional traffic, air quality and energy effects identified in this Exhibit A. However, the Tri-Valley Employment Center is infeasible and unnecessary because the significant effects which could be mitigated by the Tri-Valley Employment Center Alternative are substantially lessened by the mitigation mea- sures incorporated into the Project. b.2 Fact. The Tri-Valley Employment Center Alter- native would be inconsistent with Goals 1 and 3 of the GME. C. Increased Residential Capacity Alternative. c.l Finding. The Increased Residential Capacity Alternative is infeasible. c.2 Fact. The Increased Residential Capacity Alter- native is an alternative to the Amendment. Under this Alternative, City would amend the Land Use Element of the General Plan to allow the number of housing units in Pleasanton to be increased. The Amendment would not be adopted but the Project could be approved. The in- creased Residential Capacity Alternative might result in less regional traffic congestion if the average commute distance were reduced (as a result of substantial numbers of Pleasanton workers choosing to live in Pleasanton). This alternative would increase traffic on local roadways and increase demand on community ser- 20.
