adjacent streets by cumulative growth,there is a potential that the 18 new residential units under this alternative would be incompatible with future predicted on-site noise levels(a significant impact). Noise associated with agricultural operations would continue under the No-Project Alternative.By comparison,the proposed project would result in: significant short-term,temporary construction noise; significant stationary source noise; significant long-term traffic noise; and significant incompatibility of proposed uses with predicted on-site noise levels. Because this alternative would result in less construction,stationary source,and long-term traffic noise than the proposed project and no stationary source noise,overall noise impacts would be less under this alternative than under the proposed project.[Lesser] Visual Quality The No-Project Alternative would not substantially change existing conditions at the project site,would not include development on the off-site infrastructure sites,would not include any street widenings,and would not require the removal of the existing walnut trees along Grant Line Road.Therefore,this alternative would convert less than 1% of the project site from an agricultural to a low-intensity urban use and would result in less-than-significant visual quality and light and glare impacts. By comparison,the proposed project would: convert the project site from an agricultural to an urban setting(significant impact); include street widening that would require the removal of approximately 200 mature trees along both sides of Grant Line Road, altering the visual character of the area(significant and unavoidable impact); require the development of 7-foot sound walls(the MHMP maximum)along portions of Grant Line Road and DeAnza Boulevard(less-than-significant impact); include the development of a recycled water storage pond on the Pombo property(significant impact); include the development of outdoor lighted community park facilities(less-than-significant impact). Therefore,the No-Project Alternative would result in lesser visual quality and light and glare impacts than the proposed project.[Lesser] 5.2.2 MHMP BUILDOUT ALTERNATIVE DESCRIPTION Under the MHMP Buildout Alternative,the project site would be developed consistent with the land use designations of the MHMP(MHMP Figure 3.10, included as Figure 3-4 in Chapter 3, "Project Description'). Evaluation of the MHMP Buildout Alterative allows for a comparison of the environmental effects of buildout of the project site under the existing approved land use plan(the MHMP)to those associated with buildout of the project site under the College Park project. As indicated in Table 5-1,under this alternative,the 815-acre project site would be developed with 2,678 Y residential units, 3 acres of neighborhood commercial, 106,722 sf of community/office commercial, 2,423,075 sf of limited industrial,42 acres of parks,two K-8 schools, and 81.0 acres of other public facilities.No community College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW San Joaquin County 5-9 Afternatives to the Proposed Project
