Key Issues –Additional Findings 31 ▪Reconfiguration of the Agriculture/Open Space Easement ▪The project sponsors are offering a number of public benefits with the project, including designation and permanent protection of substantial open space in the sensitive Upper Terrace (Lot 1), restoration of four historic structures, development of a public trailhead park, amendment and enlargement of an onsite agricultural conservation easement, and development of a re - established Froom Creek corridor. Key Issues –Additional Overriding Considerations 33 ▪Cultural & Historic Resources: The project avoids impacts to recorded prehistoric sites and archaeologically sensitive areas within the project site by limiting most development below the 150 - foot contour elevation. The project will retain and adaptively reuse four existing historic buildings and structures within the project consistent with Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties with Guidelines for the Preserving, Rehabilitating, Restoring and Reconstructing Historic Buildings. These include the following buildings and structures –the Round-nose Dairy Barn, the Main Residence, the Creamery/House, and the Granary Building. All historic buildings and structures will be documented per Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) Level II documentation prior to relocation or removal (Refer to FEIR Section 3.5.3.3 and FRSP Section 3.3.1). ▪Sustainability: The FRSP includes a robust series of goals, polices, and programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, operational mobile-source emissions, and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) to provide a more sustainable community. Programs include use of recycled construction materials, water conservation measures, reliance principally on electricity for most project operations, solar photo-voltaic systems for new buildings, electric vehicle charging stations, and use of an electric shuttle for Villaggio. (refer to Final EIR Section 3.3, Table 3.3 -9, Air Quality and Green House Gas Emissions and FRSP Section 4.7). ▪Economic Public Benefits: The project will provide significant economic benefits to the public from a variety of one time and continuing revenue sources. One-time revenue sources include activities such as construction jobs and purchase of construction materials and supplies. Continuing revenue sources include property taxes, sales taxes on locally procured materials and supplies and other revenues. Key Issues –Realignment of Froom Creek 36 Key Issues –Wetlands 37 Key Issues –Wildfire 38 Key Issues –Transportation 39 •Substantial evidence available in the comprehensive Traffic Impact Study (TIS) •Extensive evaluation of multi-modal operations, including an analysis of three baseline scenarios •TIS and FEIR include detailed discussion of access analysis at Los Verdes Park entries •U.S. Highway 101 ramps and LOVR extensively evaluated •Prado Road Overpass •Construction or contribution of fair share payments or in lieu fees towards numerous transportation improvements (pedestrian, bicycle, vehicle) •Supplemental analysis confirmed the conclusions, findings, and mitigation measures identified in the Draft EIR •Traffic impact fee (TIF) programs frequently updated •Fair share mitigation fees are identified in the Specific Plan Infrastructure Financing Chapter Key Issues –Noise 40 ▪Long-term operational noise impacts, including higher roadway noise levels from increased traffic generated by the project, would be less than significant. ▪In addition, the Los Verdes Park One HOA received funds from the Avila Ranch Development to construct additional noise - reducing elements along their frontage.
