Section 4.0 —Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts <br />City of Redwood City 68 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />Sandpiper Elementary School Facilities Expansion November 2016 <br />residences. Therefore, the project would be <br />consistent with Policy PS -13.8, <br />Natural Resources Element <br />Policv NR -21: Encourage, facilitate, and/or <br />Consistencv: As proposed, the project includes <br />require the use of water conserving appliances <br />water efficient landscaping and plumbing fixtures <br />and fixtures in new development. <br />in compliance with current green building code <br />requirements. Therefore, the proposed project <br />would be consistent with Policy NR -2.1. <br />Policv NR -2.2: Encourage the use of drought- <br />Consistenev: As proposed, the project includes <br />tolerant, low-water consuming landscaping as a <br />water efficient landscaping. Therefore, the <br />means of reducing overall and per capita water <br />proposed project would be consistent with Policy <br />demand. <br />NR -2.2. <br />Policv NR -3.1: Require new development to <br />Consistencv: The proposed project would not <br />demonstrate that adequate water is available <br />exceed the City's available water supply as <br />before project approval and to fund its fair -share <br />discussed in Section 4.17.3.2. Therefore, the <br />costs associated with the provision of water <br />proposed project would be consistent with Policy <br />service. <br />NR -3.1. <br />Policv NR -6.1: Ensure that new development <br />Consistencv: As designed, the project would not <br />minimizes encroach into sensitive baylands <br />encroach into sensitive baylands habitats, As <br />habitats, and minimizes direct or indirect impact <br />discussed in Section 4.4, Biological Resources, <br />to sensitive biological resources while optimizing <br />mitigation measures have been incorporated to <br />the potential for mitigation. <br />reduce potential impacts trees and nesting raptors <br />and migratory birds. Therefore, the proposed <br />project would be consistent with Policy NR -6.1. <br />Policv NR -7.1: Support appropriate stonmwater <br />Consistencv: As discussed in Section 4.9 <br />pollution mitigation measures. <br />Hydrology and Water Quality, the project <br />includes a stormwater control plan that complies <br />with the National Pollution Discharge Elimination <br />System Municipal Regional Permit. Therefore, <br />the proposed project would be consistent with <br />Policy NR -7.1. <br />Policy NR -9.1: Preserve, maintain, and expand <br />Consistencv: As discussed in Section 4.4, <br />the number of trees in Redwood City's urban <br />Biological Resources, the proposed project would <br />forest, on both public and private property. <br />remove 45 trees from the site and plant 45 new <br />trees as part of the landscaping plan. Therefore, <br />the proposed project would be consistent with <br />Policy NR -9.1. <br />Policv NR -9.2: Require new trees to be planted <br />Consistencv: As discussed in Section 4,4, <br />and/or plant new trees in sufficient number, as <br />Biological Resources, the proposed project would <br />identified on a site by site basis, on sites <br />remove 45 trees from the site and plant 45 new <br />designated as sensitive receptors (i.e. schools or <br />trees as part of the landscaping plan. Therefore, <br />hospitals) that are in close proximity to industry, <br />the proposed project would be consistent with <br />heavily traveled freeways and roads, and other <br />Policy NR -9.2. <br />similar pollution sources in order to mitigate air <br />pollution. <br />City of Redwood City 68 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />Sandpiper Elementary School Facilities Expansion November 2016 <br />
