i The following mitigation measure will mitigate these impacts to below a level of significance. i Mitigation Measure (Impact L.6): Implement Mitigation Measure L.4. Facts in Support of the Finding: The potential for cumulative public health impacts from landfill gas generation is discussed in Section III.L of the EIR. Mitigation Measure L.4 will also mitigate the cumulative impact of landfill gas generation. C.IMPACTS ANALYZED IN THE EIR AND DETERMINED TO BE SIGNIFICANT AND UNAVOIDABLE With the implementation of all available and feasible mitigation measures recommended in the EIR, the following adverse impacts of the project stated below are considered to be significant and unavoidable,both individually and cumulatively,based on information in the EIR, in the record, and based upon testimony provided during the public hearings on this project. These impacts are considered significant and unavoidable despite the mitigation measures which are imposed and which will reduce impacts to the extent feasible. 1.Land Use a.Loss of Farmland Significant Unavoidable Impact A.2 The proposed project would convert approximately 219 acres of prime agricultural land to industrial use. Because farmlands are a diminishing resource in the County,this loss would be considered significant. This impact is also addressed in Impact J.2,below. Finding. Based upon the whole record,the Planning Commission finds this impact to be significant and unavoidable. No mitigation is available for loss of prime farmland. This impact is overridden by the project benefits as set forth in the Statement of Overriding Considerations. Facts Supporting the Finding: Prime farmland is a diminishing resource in the County,therefore the loss of approximately 219 acres of prime farmland is considered significant. Because the loss of prime farmland would be irretrievable with project development,this impact is considered significant and unavoidable and no mitigation has been identified which would be available to compensate for the loss of prime farmland anticipated with the site's development. 54
