■ 500-550kV line: 350 feet from easement Based on the project data, the proposed building nearest the easement is set back approximately 150 feet which exceeds the requirement established by the CDE. Consultant also reviewed the City's General Plan and recent projects in Redwood City where sensitive receptors would be placed near existing power transmission lines. There are no specific City policies pertaining to possible health hazards from proximity to power transmission lines. In addition, the Marina Shores Village EIR and subsequent addenda (including Peninsula Park and Pete's Harbor) did not include specific EMF surveys and concluded that the placement of residences and open space adjacent to finro parallel power transmission lines (230 kV and 115 kV) would have a less than significant impact. Due to the projects consistency with the CDE school siting criteria and consistent with City practice for analyzing projects near power transmission lines, Consultant does not propose a project specific EMF Survey. The EIR will include a qualitative analysis based on available data. Tribal Consultation: The project would not require a General Plan Amendment and, as a result, no Tribal Consultation would be required under SB 18. The State Legislature enacted Assembly Bill 52 (AB 52) in 2014 which requires lead agencies to consult with any California Native American tribe that is traditionally and culturally affiliated with the geographic area of a project, if requested in writing by the tribe. Unlike SB 18, AB 52 applies to all development proposals. The provisions of the bill apply to all projects that have a notice of preparation filed on or after July 1, 2015. Depending on the timing of the project, the City may need to consult with local tribes regarding this project. If requested by City, Consultant can assist in the tribal consultation process. Stormwater Control Plan: Analysis of the projecYs consistency with applicable City policies and regional stormwater permits will be based on a stormwater control plan to be provided to Consultant by the project applicant. While the site is currently developed, it would not qualify as infill development and, as a result, the stormwater control plan will need to meet the most recent Low Impact Development (LID) standards established by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. It is assumed that the stormwater control plan will be prepared by the project civil engineer and provided to Consultant as part of the plan set. Energv Usage and Green Buildinp Measures: Analysis of the projects energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions will be based, in part, on estimated energy usage rates provided to Consultant by the project applicant. In addition to the energy usage, Consultant will need a list of all proposed green building measures to ensure proper credit in the energy and greenhouse gas emissions analyses. Airport Interface: The project site is located approximately 1.2 miles from San Carlos Airport. Based on the San Carlos Airport Land Use Plan, the project site is outside of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 77 imaginary surfaces height restrictions. 15 City Attorney Approved Version 2-13-14
