Finding
<br /> Finding 3. The City finds that there are no mitigation measures that are feasible, taking into
<br /> consideration specific economic, legal, social, technological or other factors, that would mitigate
<br /> this impact to a less-than-significant level, and further, that specific economic, legal, social,
<br /> technological, or other considerations, including considerations for the provision of employment
<br /> opportunities for highly trained workers, make infeasible the alternatives identified in the PEIR, as
<br /> discussed in Section G of these Findings (Public Resources Code§§21081(a)(1), (3); Guidelines
<br /> §§ 15091(a)(1), (3)). As described in the Statement of Overriding Considerations, the City has
<br /> determined that this impact is acceptable because specific overriding economic, legal, social,
<br /> technological, or other benefits, including regionwide or statewide environmental benefits, of the
<br /> GPU outweigh its significant effects on the environment.
<br /> Impact 5.15-2: Population increases resulting from project implementation would increase
<br /> recreation demands that would require construction or expansion of
<br /> recreation facilities that would have potential to result in physical impacts
<br /> to the environment.
<br /> Support for this environmental impact conclusion is fully discussed in Section 5.15, Recreation,
<br /> starting on page 5.15-29 of the Updated Draft PEIR.
<br /> Population increases resulting from the implementation of the GPU would increase recreation
<br /> demands and require construction or expansion of recreation facilities. Although construction
<br /> and/or expansion of new parks and recreation facilities would be subject to GPU policies and
<br /> implementation actions; regulatory requirements, and future, project specific environmental
<br /> review under CEQA, it is still possible that development of such facilities could result in significant
<br /> unavoidable impacts
<br /> Mitigation Measures
<br /> There are no feasible mitigation measures to mitigate the impacts to recreation at buildout.
