f • <br /> the planning area. The proposal is for residential development. The <br /> operational phase would provide no significant employment opportunities <br /> beyond possible maintenance and security personnel . <br /> Implementation of the project would enhance the probability of the <br /> neighborhood commercial property in the area being developed. In this <br /> event, a limited number of employment opportunities, both full and part <br /> time, would become available. <br /> AESTHETICS <br /> EXISTING: <br /> The present aesthetic quality of a portion of the site leaves much <br /> to be desired. The entire northern boundary, which parallels Eighth <br /> Street, has been strewn with cans, broken bottles, and other discards. <br /> The view looking south from Eighth Street and Fresno Avenue is quite <br /> unpleasant. The appearance of the site itself is typical of a field <br /> being used for hay production. The view looking south and west from the <br /> site and overlooking the golf course is considerably more appealing. <br /> The view looking east from the site is that of a low to moderately <br /> priced residential area with, perhaps, more than an average share of <br /> houses in a state of ill repair. <br /> IMPACTS: <br /> The project, as described, could only improve the overall <br /> appearance of the site. Golfers using the Van Buskirk Golf Course and <br /> adjacent residents would find the project to be an aesthetic improvement <br /> or at least find it not to be distracting. <br /> MITIGATION: <br /> No mitigation is deemed necessary. <br /> CULTURAL RESOURCES <br /> As indicated in the initial study, there is no evidence of <br /> significant cultural resources occurring at the site; mitigation is <br /> unnecessary. As recommended by the Cultural Heritage Board in response <br /> to the notice of preparation, construction will halt if archeological <br /> matter is discovered during excavation. A qualified archaeologist will <br /> be called in by the contractor until a determination of significance is <br /> made and a mitigation plan is prepared. <br /> NOISE <br /> EXISTING: <br /> Based on the City of Stockton Noise Element Map and the Stockton <br /> Airport Noise Contour Map, the site is not within the critical 60 dBA, <br /> CNEL contour. Noise levels at the site are mainly due to vehicular <br /> 45 <br />
