Attachment 2 FINDINGS CONCERNING SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES Pursuant to Public Resources Code section 21081 and CEQA Guidelines sections 15091 and 15163(e), the City Council hereby makes the following findings with respect to the potential for significant environmental impacts and means for mitigating those impacts. Many of the supplemental impacts and mitigation measures in the following findings are summarized rather than set forth in full. The text of the Draft and Final Supplemental EIRs should be consulted for a complete description of the impacts and mitigations. Findings pursuant to section 21081(c) relating to Project alternatives are made in Attachment 3. Section IILA -Land Use Impact A5: Increased land use conflicts -Land use changes under the Draft General Plan Update could displace long-time uses and increase potential conflicts between established heavy industry and newer light industrial uses-or established commercial uses and new residential uses in mixed use projects. Proposed General Plan policies may not fully mitigate Impact AS to a level of insignificance. DEIR pp.IILA-I3-IILA-15. Mitigation Measure A5.1: Study potential for creating nonconformities prior to rezoning to mixed use categories in specified areas, and develop methods to relieve hardships resulting from such rezoning. Mitigation Measure A5.2: Study potential for creating nonconformities prior to rezoning to light industrial category in specified areas, and develop methods to relieve hardships resulting from such rezoning. Findin.~. Changes or alterations have been required in, or incorporated into, the Project that avoid or substantially lessen the significant effect identified in the EIR. Rationale for Finding. The mitigation measure will reduce the potential for creation of new land use conflicts by requiring the study of the potential for conflict prior to rezoning. Section IILB -Population and Housing Impact B2: Jobs/Housing Imbalance -Business development policies under the Draft General Plan Update could lead to growth in jobs that substantially exceeds housing production, thereby exacerbating the existing imbalance between jobs and housing. Because the Housing Element is not included in this Update, this impact is not fully mitigated to a level of insignificance. DEIR pp. IILB-7-IILB -9. Mitigation Measure B2: Adopt a Housing Element within six months containing policies and actions encouraging production of housing for all segments of the market including
