ROCKETSHIP REDWOOD CITY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PROJECT <br /> SEPTEMBER 2016 INITIAL STUDY/MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION <br /> sufficient daylight in the building. The entire building would contain approximately 60 skylights; all <br /> learning spaces would include natural light with little need for supplemental electrical lighting. In <br /> addition,the existing interior concrete slab would be polished; eliminating the need for additional <br /> floor tile material and the existing wood trusses and roof joints would be exposed; eliminating the <br /> need for additional ceiling tile material. The project sponsor also proposes implementing a school <br /> recycling program that includes providing black trash bins,blue recycling bins and green composting <br /> bins in each classroom. The Redwood City campus would be the first of all the sponsor's school <br /> facilities to conduct on site composting. Furthermore, future students would be provided the <br /> appropriate instruction on how to sort waste accordingly.Teaching materials and supplies would also <br /> be recycled. The proposed project would also provide incentives to encourage carpooling and the use <br /> of alternative modes of transportation.Bicycle racks with a capacity of up to 28 bikes would be <br /> located on the project site. <br /> As previously discussed,the proposed project does not exceed the BAAQMD threshold of significance <br /> for GHG emissions. The BAAQMD approach to developing a threshold of significance for GHG <br /> emissions is to identify the emissions level for which a project would not be expected to substantially <br /> conflict with existing California legislation adopted to reduce Statewide GHG emissions. The project's <br /> GHG emissions are below this threshold,and,therefore,would not conflict with California legislation <br /> related to greenhouse gas emissions. As described above,the project would also be consistent with the <br /> Redwood City Community Action Plan;therefore,the project would not conflict with any applicable <br /> plan,policy or regulation for the purpose of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. <br /> Potentially <br /> Significant <br /> Potentially Unless Less Than <br /> Significant Mitigation Significant No <br /> Impact Incorporated Impact Impact <br /> VIII.
