EXHIBIT "B" Environmental Impact Findings Significant Effect: hospital site. Potential incompatibility with planned Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation materials will reduce interior noise to accentable levels. 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 o~ available residential land and densities of allowed residential develoDment. Finding: Pleasanton's local zoning and %rowth management procedures remain intact: miti%atinE this effect in Pleasanton: other jurisidctions exercise independent land use authority to manage growth. Fact: Market forces dictate that emnlo?Tnent 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 engineer's recommendations and incorporation of building code require- ments in construction will mitigate these impacts. Facts: Importation of non-or<Derisive soils, selective grading procedures, etc. would be supervised bv engineering staff while appropriate earthquake resistant design standards in the Uniform Buj]ding Code would ~inimize earthquake impacts. Findings: The restricted ~radin~ schedule, efforts to revegetaze disturbed, erodable slopes, and provision for ~nstallation of on-si~e retention basins will reduce .erosion potential.
