EXHIBIT "B" Environmental Impact Findings Significant Effect: hospital site. Potential incompatibility with planned Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation materials ~.ji],i reduc~ ~nterior nn, ise to acc~abi~ ],eveis. Facts: The project developers will be required to conduct accoustical analyses in the area of Santa Rita Road and West Las Positas Boulevard to determine necessary noise mitigation measures. Significant Effect: Regional pressures to increase quantity of available residential land and densities of allowed residential develomment. Finding: Pleasanton's local zoning and qrowth management procedures remain intact: miti~atin~ this effect in Pleasanton: other jur~sidctions exercise indemendent land use authority to mana%e growth~ Fact: Market forces dictate that employment centers develop only where an adequate supply of workers reside within a reasonable commutin% distance, Fact: Growth rates, locations, and densities are regulated by governmental agencies' land planning% functions. Significant Effect: Development will be located on potentially unstable or expansive soils and in an area of high ground- shaking potential. Finding: The implementation of soils and en~ineer's recommendations and ~ncorporation of building code require- ments in construction will mitigate these impacts. Facts: importation of non-exmamsive sol!s, selective grading procedures. etc. would be supervised by enEineering staff wh~]e appropriate earthquake resistant des~%n standards in the Uniform Bu{]dinK Code ~nuld min~ize earthquake impacts. Findings: The restricted RradinR sche<~u!e, efforts to revegeta{e disrurt}ed, prodable slopes, and mrovision for ~nstallatien of on-s~ine retention basius will reduce .erosion potential.
