Planning Commission Revisions: i- /{}/Pfo IIII deletions addenda Exhibit C EXECUTIVE SUM~1ARY FOR E I R-80-1 GROWTH MANAGEMENT POLICIES (SECTION 1.3) The project involves an adoption of growth control policies which would result in the phasing of development from a general west to east direction. This basic concept has some negative and beneficial environmental impacts. The policies would focus initial development in areas of environmental sensitivity. The phase I development area, and small portions of other phases, contain significant resources and hazards in the following cate- gories: geology, soils, drainage, land form, noise, biology and archaeology; while overall growth management would provide some environmental advantage insofar as air quality, schools, safety services, energy and conservation. The inclusion of the Long Canyon drainage basin in the Phase I area has some disadvantage because of the many problems which have been identified in the environmental review of development in this drainage basin. Substan- tial mitigation measures would be required to avoid significant impact. These measures include substantial offsite street and drainage improve- ments. By including this area in a later phase these impacts could be avoided because the needed improvements would likely be in place. The adoption of the growth control policies, with possible modifications in the Long Canyon area, and the implementation of project specific mitiga- tion measures will result in an insignificant environmental impact. This conclusion is subject to site specific environmental analysis and the inclusion of necessary mitigation measures. II -lotIo
