2.0 ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS POTENTIALLY AFFECTED 2.1 INTRODUCTION This IS includes an evaluation of impacts based on the CEQA Guidelines Appendix G Environmental Checklist. Each checklist item is explained in the discussion following the checklist and,if necessary, mitigation measures are provided to reduce impacts to a less-than- significant level.In accordance with CEQA, all answers take into account the whole of the action, including on- and off-site effects, direct and indirect effects, and effects from both construction and operation of any new development. Each checklist criterion is marked to identify whether there is an environmental impact. • No impact indicates that there is no impact. • Less-than-significant impact means that while there is some impact,the impact is below the threshold of significance adopted by the City of Redwood City,or that measures required by law will reduce these impacts to a less-than-significant level. • Potentially significant unless mitigation incorporated indicates that a potentially significant or significant impact has been identified in the course of this analysis and mitigation measures have been provided in this IS to reduce the impact to a less-than-significant level. • Cumulative impacts are discussed in Section 3.18, Mandatory Findings of Significance, of this IS. The project is considered in combination with the projected build out of the City's General Plan to determine if any cumulative impacts are significant. If a significant cumulative impact is identified, the project's contribution to the significant cumulative impact is considered. The environmental factors checked below would be affected by the project,involving at least one impact that is potentially significant, as indicated by the checklist on the following pages. Mitigation measures have been provided for each potentially significant impact,reducing all impacts to a less-than-significant level.
