site created by the Vesting Tentative Tract Map 8167 to incorporate water quality measures
and minimize overgrading and extensive use of retaining walls. Therefore, the proposed
subdivision is physically suitable for the type and intensity of development proposed.
F. As set forth in the CEQA Addendum, the Mitigation Measures adopted with the program EIR
for the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan and Transit Center EIR would be applicable as appropriate
for addressing or mitigating any potential environmental impacts of the Project.
