effects of air pollutants, such as housing, child care centers, retirement homes, schools, and hospitals) near high‐volume roadways, dry cleaners using perchlorethylene, large gas stations, the Port of Redwood City, and rail yards. Amend the Municipal Code and other regulations to require mitigation measures such as increased indoor air filtration to increase the protection of sensitive receptors near major emission sources. The project is residential, located on El Camino Real, and within 500 ft. from the CalTrain tracks, and is therefore subject to the DTPP EIR mitigation measure 12- 1, which requires an air quality report to analyze the potential heal risks to sensitive receptors. The applicant submitted an air quality report and a supplemental analysis which did not assume electrification of CalTrain. The reports conclude that the project would have a less than significant effect on sensitive receptors. Goal PS-6: Minimize the potential damage to structures and loss of life that result from earthquakes and other geological hazards. - Policy PS-6.3: Work to ensure that structures and the public in Redwood City are exposed to reduced risks from seismic and geological events. The project would be constructed in accordance with all applicable seismic standards adopted by the City of Redwood City, including the California Building Code. Goal PS-7: Provide adequate and appropriately‐designed storm drainage and flood control facilities to meet current and future needs and minimize the risk of flooding. - Policy PS-7.1: Avoid or minimize the risks of flooding to new development. Carefully evaluate whether new development should be located in flood hazard zones, and identify construction methods or other methods to minimize damage if new development is located in flood hazard zones. The project is not currently located in a Special Flood Hazard Area as defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which means that the site is not currently identified as subject to extensive damage from a one percent chance (100‐year) flood. However, the entire project site is located in Zone X (Other Flood Areas) on its FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), which includes “areas of 0.2% annual chance [500‐year] flood; areas of 1% annual chance [100‐year] flood with average depths of less than 1 foot or with drainage areas less than 1 square mile; and areas protected by levees from 1% annual chance flood.” As such, the project would incorporate any standard City requirements for flood protection in conformance with the NFIP would ensure that potential impacts from flooding would be less than significant. 8.A. - Page 75
