e. PUD Condition _ requires that a Master Landscape Plan be prepazed For <br />the entire site. The plan is to be prepared by a registered landscape architect <br />Condition _ details the Plan requirements and calls for a tree planting program. <br />f The distribution of land uses under each of the development alternatives <br />would result in the loss of a significant number of major trees on the site. The No <br />Project Alternative is rejected because it would not meet any of the Ptojecl Sponsor's <br />objectives nor would it fulfill any of the City's objectives for this site, including <br />provision of additional housing, open space affordable housing, an elementary school <br />site and public improvements. <br />G. Geology, Soils, and Seismic Safety <br />1. Im act 1. Introduction of structures and population into an area in which the <br />likelihood of impacts from seismic events is high. <br />Mitigation Measure: <br />MeasureQl. None. <br />Findine: Specific economic, social, or other considerations make infeasible mitigation <br />measures or project alternatives identified in the Final EIR. <br />Facts in Support of Finding: The following facts demonstrate that it is not feasible to <br />mitigate the impact to a less than significant level. <br />a. The GHCBI PUD Plan must conform to [he policies and programs of the <br />Pleasanton General Plan, inclusive of those which address seismic concerns. In <br />addition, all construction in [he study azea must conform to the Uniform Building <br />Code and other applicable state and local seismic safety regulations. These <br />requirements mitigate potential risk to development from seismic events to the <br />maximum extent feasible based on current knowledge and technology. The level of <br />safety meets the City's acceptable risk policy. All project plans will be closely <br />reviewed by the City fur compliance with these standards. <br />h. The likelihood for seismic and geologic hazards will be evaluated during the <br />development review process, and slate-of=the-art soil engineering/construction <br />standards designed to reduce seismic risk are to be implemented. <br />c. The PUD Plan and Specific Plan Geologic Policy 1 requires prepazation of <br />detailed geotechnical investigations prior to approval of new development. Applicable <br />recommendations from these investigations must he incorporated into the <br />development, and local building codes must be followed in the process of siting, <br />designing, and constructing habitable structures. <br />66 <br />
