An additional benefit would <br />be the replacement of all substandard 6-inch pipes with City standard 8-inch <br />pipes. <br />Finding: Implementation of this measure would reduce the Precise Plan <br />Moderate Intensity alternative and cumulative impacts on wastewater treatment <br />and transmission capacity to aless-than-significant level. <br />~. Emergency Response and Evacuation Impacts <br />Impact 10-3: Emergency Response and Evacuation Impacts- <br />Maximum Intensity Precise Plan Alternative. Traffic from potential <br />development under the Maximum Intensity alternative would create additional <br />traffic congestion on local roads, possibly delaying emergency response and <br />limiting the RCPD's ability to evacuate the Precise Plan area safely during an <br />emergency or major disaster. These possible project effects on emergency <br />response and evacuation in the Precise Plan area represent a potentially <br />significant impact. <br />Mitigation 10-3. Implement mitigation measures identified in chapter 9 <br />(Transportation and Circulation) of this EIR to reduce projec#-related traffic <br />impacts on local roads to less-than-significant levels. In addition, require City <br />review and approval of proposed emergency access provisions prior to approval <br />of individual development projects in the Precise Ptan area. Require individual <br />projects to comply with all applicable City of Redwood City road design and <br />emergency access standards. The City may consider other alternatives to these <br />requirements if it determines that such alternatives are feasible and such access <br />will not jeopardize emergency response. Implementation of these measures <br />would reduce impacts on emergency access and response to a less-than- <br />significantlevel. <br />Finding; The City Council of the City or' Redwood City finds this impact to <br />be significant and unavoidable. Mitigation measure 10-3 is infeasible because <br />this mitigation measure may potentially degrade the Downtown pedestrian <br />environment and decrease pedestrian safety, comfort, and convenience. <br />Adoption of this proposed mitigation measure would be inconsistent with existing <br />and proposed City policies giving priority #o the Downtown pedestrian <br />environment (see Section 9.1.1 of this FEiR chapter}. The City Council of the <br />City of Redwood City chooses to avoid this mitigation option in the interest of <br />protecting the pedestrian environment. This impact is overridden by project <br />benefits as set forth in the statement of overriding considerations and in the <br />pedestrian priority objectives set froth in section 9.1.1 of this FEIR chapter. <br />Atty/Reso/Reso.1683 22 <br />030707 <br />
