minimizes pressure to change land use or increase densities. Finding. Land use authority on a regional level is in the jurisdiction of other public agencies and can and should be enforced by such agencies. c.5 Fact. Enabling statutes allow neighboring cities and counties to establish zoning and growth management procedures, if required. Existing General Plans in the Tri-Valley provide sufficient housing to meet Tri-Valley needs without changing land uses and/or increasing densities. Significant Effect. Potential inconsistency of Project with existing Growth Management Element policies. d.1 Finding. Adoption of the Amendment will cause potential significant effect to be avoided. d,2 Fact. The Amendment provides that the Project together with all previously approved job- generating projects are consistent with GME policies. II. Transportation and Circulation. Significant Effect. Increase in existing traffic volumes on freeways and local streets. The cumu- lative effect, at 90 percent of buildout of reason- ably forseeable projects (estimated to occur well after 2005), results in five intersections falling below Level of Service D (LOS D). Finding. Mitigation measures incorporated into the Project to decrease traffic congestion will substantially lessen the significant traffic effects. Facts. Condition No. 2 provides that develop- ment may continue only as long as intersections in the vicinity are maintained at LOS D. Be- cause no further development will be allowed until mitigation traffic improvements are under construction to improve the LOS if LOS E is predicted by a traffic study, no local inter- section will fall below LOS D. Condition Nos. 2 and 70 provide that Developer shall be required
