Saticoy & Wells Community Plan & Development ... - City Of Ventura

Saticoy & Wells Community Plan and Code EIRSection 4.10 Mineral ResourcesSignificance after Mitigation. Impacts related to mineral resources would be less thansignificant without mitigation.c. Cumulative Impacts. Development facilitated by the Project, in conjunction with otherdevelopment in the City, would continue to disturb areas with potential mineral resources. Asdiscussed in Section 3.0, Environmental Setting, planned cumulative development associatedwith the growth forecast of the 2005 General Plan in the City of Ventura would add about 8,300dwelling units, as well as about 1.2 million square feet of retail development, 1.2 million squarefeet of office development, 2.2 million square feet of industrial development, and 530,000 squarefeet of hotel development. As described in the 2005 General Plan EIR, the General Plan’sgrowth forecast focuses predominantly on intensification and reuse of already developed areasand limited expansion into relatively undisturbed areas. Policy 3C from the General Planrequires the City to maximize use of land in the city before considering expansion. Otheractions focus on reducing impacts to mineral resources to a less than significant level. Action7.24 would require the City to only approve projects involving sensitive land uses (such asresidences, schools, daycare centers, playgrounds, medical facilities) within or adjacent toindustrially designated areas if an analysis provided by the proponent demonstrates that thehealth risk will not be significant. Development facilitated under the Project would beconsistent with the growth projections of the 2005 General Plan. Actions included in the 2005General Plan would reduce compatibility conflicts between residential uses and mineral extractionactivity to a less than significant level.4.10-5City of Ventura
