b.8. Fact. The General Plan delineates the boundary <br /> based on ridgelines and watersheds. <br /> <br /> b.9. Finding. The proposed additional mitigation <br /> measure to prepare a specific plan in the Southeast <br /> Hills is unnecessary. <br /> <br /> b.10. Fact. The City's individual project review <br /> standards will ensure that proper mitigation measures <br /> are taken. See Section I (Land Use) a.8. <br /> <br /> b.ll. Finding,. Adopting the Maximum Development <br /> Alternative (MDA) would increase the potential for <br /> impacts. <br /> <br /> b.12. Fact. The MDA would increase the allowable <br /> density of several major parcels. <br /> <br /> b.13. Fact. The MDA would not designate a definitive <br /> Open Space/Development Boundary. <br /> <br />C. Significant Effect. The designation of areas on <br />Pleasanton Ridge to Rural Density Residential will result in <br />geotechnical hazards, visual impacts, loss of wildlife <br />habitat, and costly expansion of public services. <br /> <br /> c.1. Finding. Clustering of residences will <br /> substantially mitigate impacts. <br /> <br /> c.2. Fact. See Section I (Land Use) b.1. <br /> <br /> c.3. Finding. The City's review of individual projects <br /> will ensure that proper mitigation measures are taken to <br /> protect environmentally sensitive land. <br /> <br /> c.4. Fact. See Section I (Land Use) a.8. <br /> <br /> c.5. Finding. The new designation clarifies policies <br /> that were uncertain under the existing General Plan and <br /> will, therefore, allow for more carefully planned <br /> development. <br /> <br /> c.6. Fact. See Section I (Land Use) b.5. <br /> <br /> c.7. Finding. The project contains measures to protect <br /> the visual resource of Pleasanton Ridge. <br /> <br /> c.8. Fact. Development above 670 feet in elevation <br /> will be determined by specific studies of access, <br /> geology, visual impacts and safety restraints. <br /> <br /> c.9. Fact. Alternative methods of preserving Open <br /> Space, such as fee purchase, conservation and scenic <br /> easements, transfer of development rights and Williamson <br /> Act Contracts, will be explored. <br /> <br /> <br />
