significant temporary construction noise, <br /> significant stationary source noise, <br /> significant long-term traffic noise, and <br /> significant incompatibility of proposed uses with predicted on-site noise levels. <br /> As indicated under"Transportation"above,this alternative would generate more traffic than the proposed project. <br /> Therefore,this alternative would generate more long-term traffic noise than the proposed project.This alternative <br /> would include more commercial/industrial development than the proposed project and thus would generate more <br /> stationary source noise than the proposed project.[Greater] <br /> Visual Quality <br /> Both the MHMP Buildout Alternative and the proposed project would: <br /> convert the project site from an agricultural to an urban setting(significant impact); <br /> include street widening that would require the removal of approximately 200 mature trees along both sides of <br /> Grant Line Road, altering the visual character of the area(significant and unavoidable impact); <br /> require the development of 7-foot sound walls(the MHMP maximum) along portions of Grant Line Road and <br /> DeAnza Boulevard(less-than-significant impact); and <br /> include the development of outdoor lighted community park facilities(less-than-significant impact). <br /> _ In addition,this alternative would require development of a 30-acre interim recycled water irrigation pond on the <br /> Pombo property,resulting in a significant impact on the scenic vista similar to that of the proposed project. <br /> Therefore,the MHMP Buildout Alternative would result in visual quality impacts similar to those of the proposed <br /> project.[Similar] <br /> 5.2.3 TRAFFIC/AIR EMISSIONS REDUCTION ALTERNATIVE <br /> DESCRIPTION <br /> Under the Traffic/Air Emissions Reduction Alternative,the project site would be developed as proposed under the <br /> College Park project, except as follows: <br /> Five of the medium-density residential(R/M)parcels would instead be designated as medium-high residential <br /> (R/MH—cluster)and be developed with clustered condominiums rather than single-family residential units <br /> such that the total number of residential units within each of these parcels would not be greater than the <br /> number proposed under the College Park project(i.e.,overall number of units would stay the same). <br /> 0 One of the medium-density residential(R/M)parcels would instead be designated as office commercial (C/O) <br /> and developed with office commercial uses. <br /> One additional neighborhood commercial(C/1)center would be designated in the place of some of the <br /> designated medium-density residential(R/M)uses. <br /> As indicated in Table 5-1,this alternative would include 2,201 residential units, 5 acres of neighborhood <br /> commercial,458,830 sf of office commercial, and 1,507,260 sf of limited industrial,compared to the proposed <br /> project,which would include 2,302 residential units, 1.5 acres of neighborhood commercial, 256,130 sf of office <br /> commercial,and 1,507,260 sf of limited commercial.This alternative would include fewer residential units and <br /> more neighborhood and office commercial uses than the proposed project.This alternative would also include a <br /> College Park at Mountain House Specific Plan III Draft EIR EDAW <br /> San Joaquin County 5-15 Alternatives to the Proposed Project <br />
