Shea Homes Residential Project Environmental Impact Report Findings and Facts in Support of Findings operate including warming up until after 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and after 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays. N-2 Grading Plans and Building Plans for the proposed project shall note that all construction equipment shall be properly maintained and tuned to minimize noise emissions, N-3 Grading Plans and Building Plans for the proposed project shall note that all equipment shall be fitted with properly operating mufflers and air intake silencers. Level of Significance ofImoacts Related to Construction Noise Impacts The adverse impacts of the Shea Homes Residential Proj ect related to construction noise impacts would be minimized with the implementation of Mitigation Measures N-l, N-2, and N-3, provided above. 4.3 IMPACTS FOUND NOT TO BE SIGNIFICANT OR LESS THAN SIGNIFICANT The City finds that, based on substantial evidence in the record, discussed below, the following impacts associated with the Shea Homes Residential Proj ect are less than significant and no mitigation is required. An Initial Study (IS) was completed at the beginning of the environmental review process for the proposed project, to identify those impacts that could be potentially significant and adverse and which required further study in an EIR. The IS also provided analysis on the environmental impacts of the proj ect that were determined to be less than significant due to the identification and incorporation of mitigation early in the process or based on compliance with existing regulations. The fmdings of the IS are summarized in Section 4.0 (Effects Found Not to be Significant) in the EIR. The EIR and IS determined, based on substantial evidence in the record, that the following effects of the project would have no significant adverse or no adverse impact on the environment. 4.3.1 Aesthetics The project site is situated within an urban setting. According to the City's General Plan, the project site is void of any scenic vistas or scenic resources. Additionally, there are no aesthetic resources located along a State Highway within the vicinity of the project site. Implementation of the proposed project would not result in significant impacts to any scenic vista or scenic resource on the project site. 4.3.2 Agriculture According to the California Department of Conservation Farmland Mapping and Monitoring Program, the project site does not contain Unique Farmlands, Prime Farmlands or Farmlands of Statewide Importance. Based on the City's General Plan, the project site is not planned for agricultural uses. Additionally, the project site is not included within any existing Williamson Contracts. A site visit conducted by the City's Environmental Coordinator confirmed the project site Page 16 75oCi>> 3
