Facts: Land preparation activities will be restricted to <br />non-rainy periods (generally April - November) while <br />exposed, erodable slopes will be hydromulched and sediment <br />retention basins installed as part of an overall erosion <br />control plan intended to reduce erosion and deposition <br />of sediment into adjacent creeks. <br /> <br />Significant Effect: Permanent loss of ~rime and near-prime <br />agricultural soils to urb~nization. <br /> <br />Finding: Econ,~nic, snc~], and <br />m~ke the long-terln re~..~ ~ of <br />property infeasible. <br /> <br />agricult~:ral uses on this <br /> <br />Facts: The General Plan designation for this mronerty <br />has included industrial and commercial uses for several <br />years and, with close proximity to Interstate 580 and access <br />to major streets, the maintenance of aqriculturat uses <br />under these circumstances is considered marginal. <br /> <br />SiSnificant Effect: Change in visual character of the <br />area. <br /> <br />Finding: Design review mitigates potential impacts. <br /> <br />Facts: Soecific development project elements, including <br />design, materials use, site orientation, and landscaming <br />plans will be reviewed for the maintenance and enhancement <br />of views of and from the site. <br /> <br />Finding: Economic, social, and other considerations make <br />infeasible alternatives retaining eden space/agricultural <br />use. <br /> <br />Fact: The General Plan designation for this property has <br />included industrial and commercial uses for several years <br />and, with close prex{mit7 to interstate 580 and access <br />to major streets, the maintenance of agricultural uses <br />under these circumstances is considered marSinai. <br /> <br />Significant Effect: Pntential reRional surplus of land <br />committed to commercial/~ndustri;~l deve]omnent resulting <br />in delay in project builaout or abandonment of Droject <br />in partialIv built state. <br /> <br />Finding: Project will proceed on loticai basis fulfilling <br />existing and foreseeab].e p~arket deland. OTitions will be <br />left open for future chan~es in land usa due to sten-by-step <br />approval process. <br /> <br />~ignificant Effect: Increase in traff{c volume beyond the <br />existing c[rcula~ion svstem c~naci iv. <br /> <br /> <br />
