EXHIBIT "B" Environmental Impact Findings Significant Effect: Potential incompatibility with planned hospital site. Finding: The use of construction techniques and insulation materials will reduce interior noise to acceotable 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 of available residential land and densities of allowed residential development. Finding: Pleasanton's local zoning and growth management procedures remain intact: mitigating this effect in Pleasanton: other jurisidctions exercise indeoendent land use authority to manage growth. Fact: Market forces dictate that emoloyment centers develop only where an adequate supply of workers reside within a reasonable commuting 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-exPansive soils, selective grading procedures, etc. would be supervised by engineering staff while appropriate earthquake resistant design standards in the Uniform Building Code would minimize earthquake immactsl Findings: The restricted ~rading schedule, efforts to revegetate disturbed, erodable slopes, and provision for installation of on-site retention basins will reduce erosion potential.
