EXHIBIT "B" <br /> <br />Environmental Impact Findings <br /> <br />Significant Effect: Potential incompatibility with planned <br />hospital site. <br /> <br />Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation <br />materials t.zi].l reduce interior noise to accountable levels. <br /> <br />Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct <br />accousticai anatvses in the area of Santa Rita Road and <br />West Las Positas Boulevard to determine necessary noise <br />mitigation measures. <br /> <br />Sizn~ficanc Effect: Regional Dressures to <br />oz available residential land and densities <br />residential develooment. <br /> <br />increase quantity <br />of allowed <br /> <br />Finding: Pleasanton's local zonin~ and ~rowth management <br />procedures remain intact: mitigating this effect in <br />Pleasanton: other jurisidctions exercise indemendent land <br />use authority to mana%e growth. <br /> <br />Fact: bIari<et forces dictate that employment centers <br />develop only where an adequate su~Dly of workers reside <br />within a reasonable commutinE distance. <br /> <br />Fact: Growth rates, locations, and densities are regulated <br />by governmental agencies' land planning functions. <br /> <br />SiRnificant Effect: Development will be located on potentially <br />~Fle or expansive soils and in an area of high ground- <br />shakin~ p~ent~al. <br /> <br />Finding: The irno!emenFation of soils and engineerIs <br />recommendations and incorporation of building code require- <br />ments in construction will mitigate these ~mDacts. <br /> <br />Facts= Import=~f~on of non-exr~ansive soils'., selective <br />~radin~ Dr~ccdut-es, etc. would be supervised by euEineering <br />staff whil<~ appropr~:~te earthquake resistant d~siEn <br />stand~rd; fn ~}ne tinSform Building Code would minimize <br />earthquash{_ i i~ID,{CLS . <br /> <br />Findin'd:~: Th:. rc!;t2y~lcted %r:~dil'!Z scht, dule, efforts to <br /> <br />insta].]atic~n ,~ff '~m-sit:e retention basins w/ll reduce <br />'erosion p,~tlcorli,il. <br /> <br /> <br />
