Finding. The City finds that management of solid waste on the site and provisions for accommodation of solid waste off the site would mitigate potential solid waste impacts to the less-than-significant level: . Recycling shall be implemented at all special events and venues that host over 300 people at the proposed cultural arts center, the sports fields, and the amphitheater. . The current capacity of the landfill serving Pleasanton is sufficient to serve the needs of the City for approximately 10 years. By the end of that time period, the available capacity is expected to be expanded. DEIR, p. 159. STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS This statement of overriding considerations presents the City's determination that the proposed Bernal Property Phase II Specific PlanlBernal Community Park Master Plan Project's broader public and envirorunental objectives outweigh the anticipated significant and unavoidable envirorunental impacts ofthe Project, as identified in the previous section and the EIR. Significant and Unavoidable Environmental Impacts ofthe Proposed Proiect The previous section and the EIR identify the following significant and unavoidable impacts of the proposed Project: . Agriculture - Conversion of agricultural lands on the site to urban and other non-agricultural uses, together with other such conversions in Alameda County, would be an unavoidable cumulative adverse impact. . Traffic - At two street intersections in the City, no feasible mitigation measures are identified that can fully reduce the cumulative traffic level of service impacts to a less-than-significant level. At these intersections, the Project would contribute to unmitigatable impacts. ReQnired Statement of Overridinl! Considerations The City will mitigate the impacts described above to the extent feasible (see previous section). However, these measures will not reduce the above impacts to less-than- significant levels. The City has examined reasonable project alternatives, including the proposed Project. The City has found that the altematives to the Project would not achieve the core project objectives or would not reduce the significant and unavoidable impacts identified for the Project. Each alternative is discussed briefly above.
