These impacts can eit mitigated or overriding considerations exist as describ below. A. The loss of biologic resources associated with the project, while significant, are offset by the socia economic benefits of the proposed land uses and cir system. The proposed land uses are more conducive servation of the habitat areas being retained and e the potential undesirable living environment caused traffic noise on Highway 78 and Marron Road. The p uses are also less subject to impacts from the exis surface mine located east of the property. Develop] office and commercial uses will provide jobs and ad1 sales tax and property tax to the City, B. Potential cumulative significant impacts on air qua also offset by the benefits of the project as noted In addition, the location of additional employment commercial facilities provides a shopping and emplo: convenience for existing and future residents of th The grouping of facilities may also serve to reduce distances and reliance on the automobile in the fut thereby helping to reduce long term impacts. C. Land Use - The proposed land uses are compatible wi existing and proposed adjacent uses and are more co than residential uses with the potential noise impac Highway 78 and Marron Road.

E. F. G. H. I. J. K. Geology and Soils - Project modification to preserv tional floodplain areas and the steep slope areas i southeast corner of the property have reduced poten impacts. Implementation of the additional mitigati measures contained in the EIR will further reduce F impacts to an insignificant level. Hydrology and Water Quality - Elimination of the ma the proposed development adjacent to Highway 78 and steep slope areas in the southeast corner further r the potential for on site sedimentation. Preservat the majority of the floodplain area and implementat mitigation measures contained in the EIR reduces PO impacts to an insignificant level. Biological Resources - Project modifications to pre total of 29 acres of the riparian habitat and 18 ac supporting natural habitat, especially along the no perimeter of the riparian area, reduces the impacts identified in the EIR. The total loss of three acr, the riparian habitat and additional supporting habi however, is still deemed to be an unmitigated signi adverse impact. Archaeological Resources - Preservation of the area adjacent to Highway 78 and in the southeastern corn1 preserve three of the identified sites, thereby red1 the impacts identified in the EIR. Implementation c additional measures noted in the EIR reduces the ovc impact to one of insignificance. Visual Aesthetics - Eliminating the majority of the development adjacent to Highway 78 will eliminate ar potential "freeway strip effect". The addition of t overlay zone and implementation of the other measurc contained in the EIR reduces potential impacts to ar insignificant level. Traffic Circulation - Potential traffic impacts at E Road and El Camino Real can be reduced to an insignj level by the construction of turning lanes and medi: recommended in the EIR and in comments from the Citl Engineer. Noise - No significant impacts are anticipated. The proposed land uses are less subject to any potential impacts than the existing residential designation. Air Quality - Identified significant adverse impactE cumulative in nature. Specific mitigation measures reduce these impacts can be reviewed and implemented approval of site development plans required by the C zone. Effective long term mitigation, however, can accomplished on a regional basis. PC RES0 NO. 2043 .3 <b , 1 2 3 4 e e L.
