3.10 Impact on Utilities (Water, Sewer, Storm Water Drainage, Solid Waste, etc., Cont.): <br /> X <br /> May be Insignificant Insignificant <br /> Significant if Mitigated <br /> <br />3.11 Growth-Inducing Impacts: <br /> <br /> The subject property is surrounded on its immediate northerly and westerly sides by sin- <br /> gle-family developments. The intensity of the proposed project is compatible with the <br /> development pattern of adjoining properties. Vacant lands immediately to the east and <br /> south of the subject property which could, potentially, be influenced by the construction <br /> of this development, are separated from the subject property by the City's Urban Growth <br /> Boundary Line. Public streets and utilities including water, storm, and sanitary sewer <br /> lines, and gas and electrical lines have been extended to the boundaries of the project area <br /> in conjunction with other, nearby residential developments. However, the existence of <br /> the Urban Growth Boundary, which can only be amended by a vote of the people, would <br /> preclude growth-inducing impacts. <br /> <br /> X <br /> May be Insignificant Insignificant <br /> Significant if Mitigated <br /> <br /> 3.12 Energy Impacts: <br /> <br /> The proposed buildings and streets would cause incremental increases in the demand for <br /> energy, e.g., more vehicles, heating/cooling, etc. The design and construction of the pro- <br /> posed buildings is subject to Title 25, California State Energy Conservation Standards, <br /> which the City of Pleasanton would implement with review of the building permit. <br /> <br /> X <br /> May be Insignificant Insignificant <br /> Significant if Mitigated <br /> <br /> 3.13 Aesthetic Impacts (Obstruction of Views, Design, Etc.): <br /> <br /> Substantial changes to the topography, drainage courses, and the vegetation of portions of <br /> this natural hilly site resulting from the proposed project grading and introduction of new <br /> homes would be visible from some areas of the City and from nearby neighborhoods. <br /> Domestic landscaping would introduce non-native species and coloration to the present <br /> natural grassland/oak woodland terrain. Computer-prepared visual analyses of the aes- <br /> thetic and view impacts of the proposed project would be required. These evaluations <br /> would then, in turn, be peer reviewed by a City-designated consultant. <br /> <br /> PUD-33, Initial Study Page 9 of l 1 December 4, 2003 <br /> <br /> <br />
