Findings: The City hereby makes Finding (1). Facts in Support of Findings: (a) The Air Quality/Emissions study prepared by Fehr & Peers and dated July 9, 1996 concludes that emissions from construction activities, including particulate matter emissions from earth moving and emissions from construction equipment, would not be a significant impact if all of the specified control measures are implemented. The Planned Development Permit includes a condition requiring the applicant to implement these control measures. 4.0 FINDINGS REGARDING ALTERNATIVES 4.1 ~ CEQA requires an EIR to consider a reasonable range of alternatives to a proposed project or to the location of the proposed project.
