TA. - Page 73 101). The proposed project complies with all applicable, mandatory development regulations (e.g., height, building disposition) in the DTPP. Therefore, implementation of the proposed project would not result in a safety hazard for people residing or working in the project vicinity. g. The project design would be required to comply with all applicable City codes and regulations pertaining to emergency access, as well as fire protection and security. DTPP program EIR Mitigation 8-1 requires the City to implement signal detectors at selected intersections as needed over time to provide priority traffic signal timing for emergency response vehicles; this program is underway. As a City standard condition of approval for all development projects, the project applicant must prepare a mandatory construction traffic routing and parking plan subject to City review and approval, to ensure that adequate emergency access is maintained during construction; all traffic control for lane closures during construction shall conform to the Work Area Traffic Control Handbook administered by the City. As a result of the above requirements, the proposed project would not impair or interfere with emergency access, and the impact is considered less than significant. h. The project site is located in a downtown urban environment not adjacent to wildlands and therefore would not expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury, or death involving wildland fires. Summary of Impacts Potentially Less than Significant Less than Significant With Mitigation Significant No Impact Incorporated Impact Impact IX. HYDROLOGY AND WATER QUALITY -- Would the project: a) Violate any water quality standards or waste discharge requirements? X b) Substantially deplete groundwater supplies or interfere substantially with X groundwater recharge such that there would be a net deficit in aquifer volume or a lowering of the local groundwater table level (e.g., the production rate of pre-existing nearby wells would drop to a level which would not support existing land uses or planned uses for which permits have been granted)? c) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including X through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, in a manner that would result in substantial erosion or siltation on- or off-site? d) Substantially alter the existing drainage pattern of the site or area, including X through the alteration of the course of a stream or river, or substantially increase the rate or amount of surface runoff in a manner which would result in flooding on- or off-site? e) Create or contribute runoff water which would exceed the capacity of existing X or planned storm water drainage systems or provide substantial additional sources of polluted runoff? f) Otherwise substantially degrade water quality? X g) Place housing within a 100 -year flood hazard area as mapped on a federal X Flood Hazard Boundary or Flood Insurance Rate Map or other flood hazard delineation map? h) Place within a 100 -year flood hazard area structures that would impede or X redirect flood flows? i) Expose people or structures to a significant risk of loss, injury or death X involving flooding, including flooding as a result of the failure of a levee or dam? j) Inundation by seiche, tsunami, or mudflow? X Conclusion: Regarding hydrology and water quality, the proposed project would not result in any new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant impacts (CEQA Guidelines Section 15162(a)). All impacts are adequately evaluated in the certified Downtown Precise Plan program EIR. The proposed project is also consistent with the Downtown Precise Plan (CEQA Guidelines Section 15183). OR
