' comply with Title 25 standards. Condition 24
also requires [he applicant to retain an

. construction noise. Such measures include
properly tuned equipment, construction durinp,
daytime hours only (8:00 a.m, to 5:00 p.m.),
and the uae of temporary noise barriers.

materials to create harmony with ad~oining
' Northpoint development. Condition 23 of Plan-
ning Commiasion Resolution 2226 was imposed to

significant amount of off-site road work to

D. Sewage Diaposal The aite plan will be graded in a ~nanner to
easily diatribute effluent to sewer mains
paralleling Homestead Road and 280 Freeway.
In terms of the treatment plant capacity, data
from the Cupertino Sanitary District and the
Santa Clara/San Jose Treatment Plant operators
indicate that sub~ect development will not
overtax the Sanitary Districts projected allot-
ment at the time the unit will be occupied.
Water conservation kits will be included with
each unit. In its current general plan land use
studies, which are con3lderin~ inereasing,
decreasing, and retaining existing plan densities,
the City ahall consider the relationship between
the densities permitted on undeveloped properties
between Homestead Road and the freeway, and t}~e
remaining capacity of the associated sewer mains.
The City ahall continue to monitor the efforts
of the Water Pallution Control Plant to expand
capacity in phase with development. Should plant
capacity not be expanded by the stated completion
date, conaideration shall be given to phasing
pro~ect development in conjunction with other
areawide development to avoid overcapacity at the
treatment plant.
