None CITY `CLERK F THE ,2'ITY OF CYPRESS - 2 - ATTACHMENT A I SIGNIFICANT ADVERSE IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES The following significant environmental impacts have been reduced to an acceptable level as mitigated Those adverse impacts which cannot be completely mitigated are acceptable since specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible the mitigation measures or project alternatives identified in the Final Environmental Impact Report Land Use and Planning Development of the site will require substantial alterations in exist- ing land uses The interim agricultural land use will be removed and replaced by multi -story buildings, landscaping, and road surfaces However, the project conforms with the City's General Plan and Zoning Ordinance and will consist of land uses beneficial to the community Transportation and Circulation Development of the site will increase traffic volumes on surrounding arterial roads incrementally contributing to area -wide traffic volumes However all roadways adjoining the property will be developed to their ultimate right-of-way which includes construction of a third westbound traffic lane along the north side of Katella Avenue All internal roadways within the project will be constructed at the property owner's expense Surrounding arterial transportation corridors can accommodate the increase in projected traffic volumes, with construction of traffic signals at project entrances and other roadway modifications Air Resources 48:1 Development of the project site will incrementally contribute to area -wide air pollution consisting of mobile and stationary source emissions Programs will be imposed to require car pooling thereby reducing mobile source emissions, and utilization of solar space heating to reduce stationary emissions Area wide air quality standards will help miti- gate exhaust emissions from mobile sources Public Services The project fiscal impact report indicates that an increased demand for public services will result in direct cost to the City However, to mitigate these impacts, anticipated revenues resulting from the project area should ultimately amount to a $163,000 annual surplus to the City Furthermore all internal roadways within the project area will remain the responsibility of the property owner for maintenance II STATEMENT OF OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS The following unavoidable adverse impacts, as identified in the Environ mental Impact Report, cannot be mitigated to a level of insignificance However, these unavoidable adverse impacts are the result of typical urbanization development of infilled parcels within the City Limits These impacts have been anticipated and are considered acceptable since specific economic, social or other considerations make infeasible miti gation measures to eliminate these impacts Therefore the following environmental impacts cannot feasibly be avoided if the project is to be implemented • The project would result in the permanent loss of existing agri- cultural and open space land • Urbanization and its related effects (i e , traffic air emissions, etc ) would intensify • The project will decrease groundwater percolation and incrementally will degrade surface runoff water quality 484 d -CV — A— y • The project will contribute to the overall volume of traffic on surrounding arterial highways and will necessitate traffic signal and lane improvements • During the racing season at Los Alamitos Race Track traffic con- gestion will intensify during the p m peak hour • During construction phasing the project will degrade air quality as a result of construction equipment exhaust and fugitive dust Long term air quality impacts associated with automobile use cannot be totally mitigated • The project incrementally increases the demand for police and fire services • The project will increase the demand for housing in the City and surrounding area, a percentage of this demand can be expected in the low/median income cost range - 2 -
