I SIGNIFICANT EFFECT MITIGATION MEASURE
I A. Traffic and Circulation Condition No. 17 of Planning Commission
Resolution 2303 requires the applicant
to participate in a proportlonate share
of major off-site street improvements of
a local and communitywide nature. It is
further stipulated that at the use permit
and buildinR permit stages, phasing will
be determined in canjunction with mitigation
measures consistent with the adopted General
Plan. The site plan is to be modlfied, as
required by Condition 18 of Planninp,
Commission Resolution 2303, re~arding on-
site cirr.ulation and its effect nn nei~hboring
residential streets. Additional access to
the property is required. Interior
circulation modifications will be required
to disrnuraRe vehicular traffic cuttinR
i throu~h the project to existing residential
streets. Additionally, the applicant shall
provide a detailed trafEic control plan for
Rainbow Drive between Bubb Road and Southern
Pacific Railroad crossine to reduce vehicular
~ volumes and speeds and discourage penetration
i into existing neighborhoods. ,As provided
6y Condition No. 22, public access is being
assured to the Fremont Older Open Space

Resolution No. 5~ (continued) •
B. Noise A number of noise miti~ations will be
. required as a part of the development to
maintain an acceptable noise environment
for project residents. These measures
will include sound insulation, berms,
noise barriers, distant setbacks, etc.
Cons[ruc[ion noise will be restricted to
nocmal working hours with equipment muffled
in accordance with health and safety standards.
WHEREAS, the following significant environmental effec[s of the project
II identified in the Environmental Impact Report cannot be mitigated, a statement
of overriding considerations based upon inFormation of record and the Final
Environmental Impac[ Report are set forth below.
SIGNIFICANT EFFECT OVERRIDING CONSIDERATIONS
''i A. Noise Pro~ect Renerated traffic will not increase
I ambient noise levels on adjacent streets in
a perceivable mauner with exception of
li Prospect Road west of Slellin~ Road. This
il roadway would increase by 4 decibels to n
I community noise equivalent level of 51 to
, 55 decibels which is consistent with tht
~I conditionally "acceptable level" within
'I the adop[ed City General Plan.
B. Conversion of ARricultural Projec[ entails the conversion of approxi-
Use mately 80 acres of aFricultural use to
urban uses. Information of record submitted
as part of the Environmental Impact Report
demonstrates the economic, nan-viability
of the existinR aRricultural use.
Additionnlly, i[ is proposed to main[ain
community a~ricultural uses such as ve~e[ablc
Fardene and productive fruit trees as part
of [he open sp~ce and landscaped areas. Due
to the size of the aRricultural use and its
relation to surroundin~ urban uses, it has
, been deemed that the production of nceded
' housin~ for the community outwei~hs the
con[inued uneconomic use of aRric~lture.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby found, determined and ordered that the City
Council of the City of Cupertino, ns responsible agency, has considered said
Enviranmental Impact Report and hereby certifies thnt it has reviewed and considered
the inEormation contained therein nnd that the Environmental Impact Report hns
been completed in compliance with the CEQA und State guidelines. Council finds
further that alterations have been incorporated into the projec[ which mitiRate
, or avoid each signi£icant environmental impact identified in the Environmental
• Impact Report [o an acceptable level as defined in Section 8.7 of the Cupertino
Environmental Guidelines. Council further resolves tha[ the Mrector of PlanninF
and Development is to file a Notice of Determination as required under the
, California Environmental Quality Act.
