this discrete project, the conditions of a~proval (Exhibit "A") and measures undertaken since the completion of the Hacienda Business Park Project EIR have reduced such impacts to insignificant levels. Section 4: With respect to the cumulative effects of continuing building by building development of Hacienda Business Park, of which this ~roject is a part, the City Council finds that potential significant environmental effects either (1) have been mitigated bv conditions of approval placed on the development of projects within the Hacienda Business Park, including conditions of approval of Parcel Map 3858 and individual, lot by lot development; (2) require mitigation by another public a~ency having jurisdiction; or (3) cannot be mitigated except by mitigation measures found to be infeasible. The facts and findings supporting this finding are summarized in the Environmental Impact Findings, attached hereto as Exhibit "B" and incorporated herein by reference and as are more fully found in the administrative record of the Hacienda Business Park Project and this develop- ment application. All references in Exhibit "B" to the "Project" are for Hacienda Business Park; all references to the "Developer" are to Prudential and Callahan-Pentz Properties. Section 5: The City Council further finds that although not all significant cumulative environmental effects have been reduced to an insignificant level as defined in the CEQA guidelines, the remaining unavoidable significant environmental effects are acceptable because this development, in conjunction with the development of the area within the Hacienda Business Park, will have economic, social, environmental, and other benefits which outweigh any impacts which may occur; said benefits include provision of local jobs in a net out-commuting community; jobs which match local labor force characteristics; potential reduction in total work trip length and reduced regional emissions; social benefits of more time for family and community life due to reduced work trip commute times; significant construction jobs over a 25-year period; positive fiscal impact upon the City's general fund; increased tax base and diversification of employers insulatin~ the City and community from adverse effects of single- employer labor decisions; improvements of the circulation system in northern Pleasanton, including improved emergency vehicle response times; reduction in flood hazard in presently urbanized areas; improvements of ambient noise levels in residential areas; off-site streetscape beautification; and other benefits enumerated in the Hacienda Business Park Project, and this discrete project, staff renorts, ~ublic hearings, and applicant ~resentations.
