Section 4.0 – Environmental Setting and Discussion of Impacts <br /> <br /> <br />City of Redwood City 67 Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration <br />Sandpiper Elementary School Facilities Expansion November 2016 <br />Policy BE‐45.3: Promote green building practices <br />with respect to recycling material from building <br />demolition and using recycled building materials <br />in new construction. <br />Consistency: The project would be constructed <br />in conformance with the California Green <br />Building Standards Code and applicable City <br />requirements including recycling demolition <br />waste and utilizing sustainably sourced building <br />materials to the extent feasible. Therefore, the <br />project would be consistent with Policy BE-45.3. <br />Building Community Element <br />Policy BC‐1.3: Enhance street corridors, <br />parkways, and public property between buildings <br />to serve as functional recreation and green space. <br />Consistency: As discussed in Section 3.2, <br />Proposed Project, the project would include <br />additions and improvements to the Sandpiper <br />Community Center and Sandpiper Park. <br />Therefore, the project would be consistent with <br />Policy BC-1.3. <br />Public Safety Element <br />Policy PS-1.5: Require projects that generate <br />potentially significant levels of air pollutants to <br />incorporate the most effective air quality <br />mitigation into project design, as feasible. <br />Consistency: As discussed in Section 4.3, Air <br />Quality, the proposed project includes mitigation <br />measures to reduce construction air quality <br />impacts to a less than significant level. The <br />project would not have any operational air quality <br />impacts. Therefore, the proposed project would <br />be consistent with Policy PS-1.5. <br />Policy PS‐3.5: Work with local schools and <br />school districts to encourage children to walk or <br />bike to school. <br />Consistency: The proposed project is in <br />proximity to transit and existing residential <br />development. The project would include <br />additional bike racks to accommodate the increase <br />in student capacity at Sandpiper Elementary <br />School. For these reasons, the proposed project <br />would be consistent with Policy PS-3.5. <br />Policy PS‐5.4: Incorporate consideration of, and <br />measures to mitigate the risks of, sea level rise <br />into the planning process. <br />Consistency: As discussed in Section 4.9, <br />Hydrology and Water Quality, structures included <br />as part of the proposed project would be built <br />above the 2070 sea level rise elevation. <br />Therefore, the project would be consistent with <br />Policy PS-5.4. <br />Policy PS-13.3: Consider noise impacts as part <br />of the development review process, particularly <br />the location of parking, ingress/egress/loading, <br />and refuse collection areas relative to surrounding <br />residential development and other noise-sensitive <br />land uses. <br />Consistency: As described in Section 4.12, <br />Noise, the noise impacts of the project have been <br />evaluated and the project would not result in <br />significant noise impacts. Therefore, the project <br />would be consistent with Policy PS-13.3. <br />Policy PS-13.8: Implement appropriate standard <br />construction noise controls for all construction <br />projects. <br />Consistency: As discussed in Section 4.12, <br />Noise, the proposed project will include <br />construction noise mitigation measures to reduce <br />temporary construction noise impacts to adjacent <br />7.A. - Page 98
