9A Page 46 Honorable Mayor 1'ierce and Ciry Council April 3, 2007 Page 5 Here, unlike Sundstrom, prior co adoption of the IS/MND, a Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared to evaluace ehe pocential for the projecc �o result in traffic impacts and, based on thar sti.idy, the ISIMND concluded that any traffic impacts would be Iess than significant. The Ciry thereEore correctly determined tliat no micigation was required. (See CEQA Gttidelines g 15126.4{A)(3) ["mitigacion measures are not required For effects which are not f�und to be significant"].) The Planning Commission appropriately recommended adoption of the IS/MND given the ftnding of a less-than-significant impact. (See Publ:c Resourc�Code y� 21064.5, [�er►nitt'sng tl�e adaptioa cf rnitigared negacive deciarations where the project as mitigated wiii res«it i�i no signi�cant effects on the e;ivironri7enc�.} Accore�ingiy, rhe trairic monitoring reporr wili noi serve as mitigation f�r a potential project impact, as the Iinpacc Ana]ysis has already found thac chere is no poten�ial in�pacc, nor will it provide an evaluation oFpote��tial impacts, as they have already becn evaivated. 'I"rie purpose of the monitoring reporr would only be co update the Ciry on the c�rrent traffic condicions in the grearer neighborhood surrotzncling the Projecc. The Planning Can�mission concurred with rhe less-thac�-significant craffic impact finding when ic adopted tlie IS/MND, and it did not caIl inco qtiescian �he accurary of the Iinpact Analysis, but simply requesred inonit�ring oF the project after occupancy to confirm the r.esults of the study and to fiirther assure t(�at the neighborhood's coi�ce�-ns were addressed. For these reasons, the monitoring repc�rt is appropriare. Hazardous Materials Coinments also were raised by the Hampton Oaks �wners Association concerning t}�e preser�ce of soil and brounc�water contaminauon at the site due ro a major fuel spill ac a neigl�boring property in 1�95. The City's IS/MND contained an evaluatioii of any poter�tial l�azards and hazardous materials i►npaccs associated with the proposed Projecr. Based on rhe ISIMND analysis, che City concluded that tEie Project would have a less-than-significant impacr and r��ac no mitigario�� is req��i��eci. (IS/MND at p. 20.} The IS/MND's conclusions were based on Remediation I�escing and I�esign's August -/t, 2006 "Reporc of Soil Investigations at 885 Woodside Road and 21 Horgan Avenue, Redwood C.;iry, <;alifornia" {"RTD Reporc").
