copy Environmental Setting, Impacts and Mitigation Measures, (4) Port hereby finds that the Final SEIR correctly identifies three significant unavoidable impacts of the Project described therein that cannot be feasibly mitigated by the Port and, moreover, that such mitigation is not within the control of Port, as set forth on page 5-1 of the Final SEIR, CEQA Statutory Sections, and (5) Port hereby finds that there are overriding social, economic, and physical considerations justifying approval of the Project described in the Final SEIR. This Board hereby finds that the following economic, legal, social, technological, or other benefits of the Project outweigh the foregoing significant effects on the environment for which mitigation measures or alternatives identified in the Final SEIR are infeasible or, if available, will not eliminate or reduce such impacts to a level of insignificance. (a) The Project will provide necessary economic development and related employment opportunities. (b) The Project will fulfill the Port's need for new facilities to accommodate the steady growth in cargo throughput that the Port has experienced over the past 10 years. (c) The economic benefits of the Project include more appropriate use of usable properties for the Port of Redwood City. (d) Maritime commerce benefits include not only local benefits through the provision of land for industrial-related future tenants of the Port and associated jobs, but also enhancement of both national and international maritime commerce, which purposes the Port serves. shared1PorttReso DS 6 RESO P-2324 09/14/16 sR,^ tt‘te� tea.
