construction impacts due to equipment exhaust and fugitive dust will be estimated, and mitigation measures will be identified for potentially significant impacts. Noise The Initial Study will describe the existing noise environment of the project site area based upon information available from the City Planning Division. The proposed project is not expected to result in significant noise impacts; therefore, a quantitative analysis of vehicle generated noise is not included in this scope of work. Demolition of the existing development and construction of the proposed project could result in short-term impacts upon adjacent sensitive receptors. The Initial Study will describe the short-term, construction-related noise impacts of the project, along with appropriate mitigation measures. Aesthetics The Initial Study will describe the existing visual character of the project area and the projected change in visual character resulting from development of the project. The Initial Study will address the impact of the project on views from adjacent land uses including the impact of returning the site to its original grade. Photographs of the project site and conceptual elevations of the proposed residences will accompany the text to provide a visual context for the discussion of visual conditions within the area. Revised grading plans and elevations will be provided by Classic Communities. Mitigation measures will be identified to reduce or avoid any significant visual impacts of the project. Public Services & Utilities The Initial Study will address the existing public services and utilities serving the project site, based upon available information from the City Public Works Department and other local agencies. The public services and utilities to be addressed include the following: water, sewer, gas and electricity, storm drainage, fire, police, solid waste services, and schools. The Initial Study will describe the increase in service demands resulting from the project, based on information provided by the City staff. This information will be used to determine the availability of existing services to serve the proposed development. The Initial Study will also describe the potential impacts of the project upon schools due to the projected student generation, based upon consultation with the Redwood City Elementary School District. Mitigation measures will be identified to reduce significant impacts upon public services and utilities, if appropriate. Reproduction and Delivery of Administrative Draft Initial Study DJP&A will prepare a total of 10 copies of the Administrative Draft Initial Study. These copies will be submitted to the City staff and Classic Communities for review and comment. 0 =~D l!I~m IJ~~ Page 4 of 7 '1- -~"'-"
