EXHIBIT A <br />be prepared to the point of identification and permanent preservation in an established accredited <br />professional repository. <br />With the implementation of the mitigation measure identified above (Mitigation Measure TCR -1), the <br />Project's potential impacts relating to temporary increases in ambient noise levels would be less than <br />significant. (DEIR, pp. 4.12-4 through 4.12-5.) <br />9.0 FINDINGS REGARDING LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS NOT REOUHUNG <br />MITIGATION <br />Consistent with Public Resources Code section 21002.1 and section 15128 of the CEQA Guidelines, the <br />EIR focused its analysis on potentially significant impacts, and limited discussion of other impacts for <br />which it can be seen with certainty there is no potential for significant adverse environmental impacts. <br />CEQA Guidelines section 15091 does not require specific findings to address environmental effects that <br />an EIR identifies as "no impact" or a "less than significant" impact. <br />Nevertheless, the City hereby finds—consistent with Chapter 4.0, Environmental Setting and Impact <br />Analysis, of the DEIR and the Initial Study (Appendix A of the DEIR�—that the Project would either have <br />no impact or a less than significant impact to the following resource areas: <br />9.1 Aesthetics <br />9.1.1 Scenic Vistas <br />Threshold: Would the Project have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista? <br />Finding: Less than significant impact. (DEIR, p. 4.1-9 through 4.1-16.) <br />Facts in Support of Findings: The Project site and surrounding areas are urbanized and do not contain <br />any sensitive scenic vistas. (DEIR, p. 4.1-3, 4.1-9.) Moreover, as described in Section 4.1, Aesthetics of <br />the DEIR, implementation of the Project would change the character of the site to more closely align with <br />the General Plan Scenic Corridors Element designation as a Major City Entry and the Urban Design <br />Element identification of the site as within the Main Street Concourse node. Additionally, it would align <br />with the Scenic Corridors Element designation of Santiago Creek as an Inter -City Corridor. Hence, the <br />Project would result in a substantial change, but this change would not result in an adverse effect to a <br />scenic vista, and impacts related to a scenic vista would be less than significant. <br />9.1.2 Scenic Resources within State Scenic Highways <br />Threshold: Would the Project substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited <br />to, trees, rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway and/or local scenic road? <br />Finding: No impact. (Initial Study, pp. 14-15.) <br />Facts in Support of Finding: There are no officially designated state highways or County -designated <br />scenic highways in the vicinity of the proposed Project.
