8.C. - Page 12 sources, in addition to the potential for inundation and sea level rise and adaptation. • Land Use and Planning: The EIR will describe the General Plan amendment and rezoning actions necessary to implement the Project, and the potential impacts of the Project on existing and planned land use characteristics in the vicinity. The EIR will also describe and evaluate whether the proposed land use development is consistent with applicable local and regional plans and any applicable conservation plans. • Mineral Resources: The EIR will assess whether the Project would result in the loss of available known mineral resources or important recovery site. • Noise: The EIR will describe potential construction period and long-term operation (traffic, mechanical systems, etc.) noise impacts with the Project. The EIR will consider the potential for ambient noise levels to exceed established standards and assess the land use compatibility of areas proposed for noise -sensitive land uses based on monitored noise levels and the compatibility guidelines of the state. • Population and Housing: The EIR will describe the anticipated effects of the Project on existing and projected population and housing characteristics, housing demands, and the local balance between housing and jobs in Redwood City. In particular, the EIR will discuss if the resulting population growth with the Project would be in a manner contemplated in the General Plan 2030, and assess if it would displace existing housing or people, necessitating the construction of replacement housing elsewhere in excess of that contained in the City's Housing Element. • Public Services and Recreation: The EIR will address potential impacts that the Project could have to the demand for public services, including police protection services, fire protection and emergency services, parks, and public schools provided in Redwood City. Potential increases in demand for public services will be reviewed to determine if new facilities will be required to maintain acceptable levels of services. The EIR will also address potential physical impacts related to recreational facilities that could occur with implementation of the Project. • Transportation, Circulation and Parking: The EIR will describe the transportation and circulation implications of the Project, including its incremental contribution to daily and peak hour traffic on local and regional roadway facilities. The evaluation will include regional and local roadway system impacts, transit implications, pedestrian and bicycle provision impacts, and TDM opportunities. • Utilities and Service Systems: The EIR will describe the Project impacts on the local utility and service system infrastructure (water supply; sewer and wastewater treatment; storm drainage; and solid waste) serving the Project area and assess the adequacy of the infrastructure to serve future demand. Alternatives. Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15126.6, the EIR will also identify and conduct a comparative evaluation of a reasonable range of alternatives to the Project. The EIR analysis will include, but not be limited to, examination of the CEQA-mandated No Project Alternative, and other potential alternatives that may be capable of reducing or avoiding potential environmental effects.
