a.2. Fact. The former General Plan would result in a <br /> 2.26 jobs/housing ratio, as opposed to a 1.69 ratio in <br /> the Final General Plan. <br /> <br /> a.3. Finding. The No Project Alternative would lead to <br /> increased impacts in the Southeast Hills and on <br /> Pleasanton Ridge. <br /> <br /> a.4. Fact. The former General Plan does not provide <br /> sufficient guidance or policies dealing with development <br /> in environmentally sensitive areas, which leads to <br /> development in a piecemeal fashion. <br /> <br />B. The Maximum Development Alternative (MDA) <br /> <br /> b.1. Finding. The MDA does not function as a <br /> mitigation measure as it will exacerbate rather than <br /> reduce adverse effects on the local street network, <br /> increase the likelihood of various environmental impacts <br /> including slope instability, erosion, visual impacts and <br /> wildlife habitat degradation, and lead to extensive <br /> public infrastructure and service costs. <br /> <br /> b.2. Fact. The MDA allows for a population holding <br /> capacity 14% higher than the Final General Plan without <br /> extensive improvements to the local street network. <br /> <br /> b.3. Fact. The MDA allows for higher density <br /> development on Pleasanton Ridge and the Southeast Hills <br /> and does not retain all the mitigation measures designed <br /> to protect these areas that are contained in the Final <br /> General Plan. <br /> <br />C. The Community Facilities Alternative (CFA) <br /> <br /> c.1. Finding. Most of the mitigation measures proposed <br /> in the Community Facilities Alternative have been <br /> incorporated into the Final General Plan. <br /> <br /> c.2. Fact. The Final General Plan provides for the <br /> development of a specific plan on the San Francisco <br /> Water Department Land which was proposed in the CFA. <br /> Such a plan is likely to reduce the impacts in that <br /> area. <br /> <br /> c.3. Fact. The Final General Plan incorporates the <br /> CFA's definition of Rural Density residential in the <br /> Southeast hills which will clarify development policies. <br /> <br /> c.4. Fact. The Final General Plan provides for added <br /> recreational facilities in the southeast hills. <br /> <br /> c.5. Fact. The Final General Plan results in a <br /> jobs/housing ratio of 1.69, just slightly more than the <br /> jobs/housing ratio of 1.62 resulting from the CFA. <br /> <br /> <br />
