Wagstaff and Associates Contra~ Exhibit "A"
<br /> City of Redwood City Bait Island Road Development EIR
<br /> October 25, 2001 Page I--5
<br />
<br />r 8. Includes a comprehensive analysis of the visual implications of the project, internal
<br /> cohesiveness, project visual relationships to adjacent areas, impacts on "gateway" views from
<br /> northbound and southbound US 101, visibility from and on impacts on views from elevated
<br /> areas of Redwood City to the west, compliance with related Redwood City General Plan
<br /> policies and design guidelines, and warranted mitigations in the form of design refinements,
<br /> design standards, common treatments to unify the area, etc.;
<br />
<br /> 9. Describes the population, housing, and employment effects of the proposed project,
<br /> including its responsiveness to and impacts on future city housing and employment needs in
<br /> Redwood City, and its effects on the localized and cityvvide jobs/housing balance;
<br />
<br /> 10. Describes the transportation and circulation implications of the project, including
<br /> (a) the effects of the proposed land use mix and circulation layout in generating (and
<br /> minimizing) outside-area vehicular trips; (b) the effects of project buildout in combination with
<br /> anticipated cumulative surrounding buildout on future in-area and outside-area roadway traffic
<br /> volumes, capacities, and levels of service; (c) the effects on the planned Blomquist Street
<br /> extension; (d) anticipated impacts on, and future demands for, alternative Bair Island Road
<br /> area transportation modes, including local transit, future BART access, and pedestrian and
<br /> bicycle provisions; and (e) an appropriate fair-share mitigation approach for buildout-related
<br /> roadway and other transportation improvements;
<br />
<br />r 1 1. Describes the shoreline and creekside biological resources impacts of the project, with
<br /> emphasis on the proposed marina fill and restoration aspects and potential effects on intertidal
<br /> and subtidal habitats, and on related special status plant and animal species, the relationship
<br /> of these findings to related City and other jurisdictional policies and requirements, and
<br /> warranted mitigation measures including the mitigation protocols of key jurisdictional agencies
<br /> (Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Marine Fisheries Service,
<br /> State Department of Fish and Game, Bay Conservation and Development Commission, etc.);
<br />
<br />r 12. Describes the hydrology and water quality implications of the project, including impacts
<br /> on peak stormwater runoff on the local storm drainage and pumping system, impacts on local
<br /> flooding conditions, effects on water quality in the Redwood Creek tidal reach due to site
<br /> dredging, fill operations, other construction activities, and long-term increases in land use
<br /> intensity;
<br />
<br />r 13. Describes the other infrastructure and public services implications of the project,
<br /> including demands for and effects on water supply, sewer, police, fire, emergency medical,
<br /> school, park (including the San Francisco Bay Trail), and solid waste disposal services;
<br />
<br /> 14. Describes the general geologic and soils implications of the bayside project, including
<br /> onsite, bay mud related potentials for strong ground shaking, liquefaction, differential
<br /> settlement, and corrosive action, and associated project design implications (pile supports,
<br /> flexible utility connections, etc.);
