EXHIBIT A FINDINGS ON THE MARINA SHORES VILLAGE FEIR The following findings identify potential mitigation measures and state related determ concerning proposed development of Marina Sh with reference to the draft and final Environment Village Project certified by the Redwood City Pla "FEIR ") and the Mitigation Monitoring and Rep Village Project and related Mitigation Monitor approved concurrently with these findings. To lengthy document, these findings do not restate descriptions of mitigation measures in the FEII FEIR designation of the impacts discussed anc measures, so that further information on thos( adverse environmental impacts and , iations of the City of Redwood City )res Village. These findings are made iI Impact Report for the Marina Shores fining Commission on July 8, 2003 (the )rting Program for the Marina Shores ig Checklist (together, the "MMRP ") avoid repetition and an unnecessarily in full detail the analysis of impacts or and MMRP, but instead identify the the MMRP designations of mitigation impacts and mitiqation measures is incorporated by reference and available to any reader. With respect to certain impacts, each identified in FEIR section 17.6.2, the detailed FEIR discussion of the impact of the Initial Project must be read in light of changes resulting from substitution of the Project, as discussed in section 17.6.2, in place of the Initial Project. Copies of the FEIR and MMRP are available in the office of the City Clerk. I. LAND USE The Project would have the following potentially significant impacts on land use. A. Electric Transmission Lines Potential Impact: The Project would include residential development as close as fifty (50) feet to existing electric transmission lines, which would result in residents having views of the transmission towers and hearing noise from the transmission facilities (EIR Impact 4 -1, p. 4 -27). Mitigation: View impacts would be mitigated by landscaping along the power line easement and at other vantage points in the project, by notice to prospective residents within 200 feet of the easement and by prohibiting residential towers within 100 feet of power lines or supporting structures and all residential structures within 50 feet of power lines or supporting structures (MMRP Mitigations 4 -1, 5 -7). Noise impacts would be mitigated by building features reducing interior noise to a specified City and State standard, pursuant to an acoustical study (MMRP Mitigation 13 -1). Findings: The identified noise impact mitigation measure is feasible and would reduce potential noise impacts from the transmission towers to a level which would not be environmentally significant. The identified visual impact measures are feasible, but even with those measures the visual impacts of the towers would remain potentially significant.
