The EIR identified from the proposed project. These impacts can either be mitigated or overriding considerations exist as describt 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 preservation of the habitat areas being retained an inate the potential undesirable living environment by traffic noise on Highway 78 and Marron Road. Th proposed uses are also less subject to impacts from existing surface mine located east of the property. Development of office and commercial uses will prov and additional sales tax and property tax to the Ci 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 region. The grouping of facilities may also serve reduce travel distances and reliance on the automob the future, thereby helping to reduce long term imp 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 impa Highway 78 and Marron Road. Project modifications preserved additional floodplain areas adjacent to t riparian habitat, thereby reducing conflicts with t Space and Conservation Element to an insignificant d. Geology and Soils - Project modification to preserv additional floodplain areas and the steep slope are the southeast corner of the property have reduced g impacts. Implementation of the additional mitigati measures contained in the EIR will further reduce E impacts to an insignificant level. e. Hydrology and Water Quality - Elimination of the m? of the proposed development adjacent to Highway 78 the steep slope areas in the southeast corner furtf reduces the potential for on site sedimentation. I vation of the majority of the floodplain area and j mentation of mitigation measures contained in the I reduces potential impacts to an insignificant level RES0 NO. 2079 .2 ll ,I I/ 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 I I f. Biological Resources - Project modifications to prel 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 3 acres o riparian habitat and additional supporting habitat, however? is still deemed to be an unmitigated signi adverse impact. g. Archaeological Resources - Preservation of the area adjacent to Highway 78 and in the southeastern corn preserve 3 of the identified sites, thereby reducin impacts identified in the EIR. Implementation of t additional measures noted in the EIR reduces the ov impact to one of insignificance. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2o ! h. Visual Aesthetics - Eliminating the majority of the development adjacent to Highway 78 will eliminate a potential "freeway strip effect." The addition of overlay zone and implementation of the other measur contained in the EIR reduces potential impacts to a insignificant level. i. Traffic Circulation - Potential traffic impacts at Road and El Camino Real can be reduced to an insigr level by the construction of turning lanes and medi recommended in the EIR and in comments from the Cit Traffic Engineer. j. Noise - No significant impacts are anticipated. Tl' proposed land uses are less subject to any potentiz impacts than the existing residential designation. k. Air Quality - Identified significant adverse impact cumulative in nature. Specific mitigation measures reduce these impacts can be reviewed and implementc approval of site development plans required by the lay zone. Effective long term mitigation, however, only be accomplished on a regional basis. 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 1.
