] <br /> <br />2.1 GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS <br /> <br />2.1.1 ~: Development of the Project will result in increased exposure to <br /> seismic risks. <br /> <br /> ~ The City hereby makes Findings (1) and (3). <br /> <br /> Facts in Suppose of Findings: <br /> <br /> that [the Redwood Peninsula] is no worse than many other sites which have been <br /> and are routinely approved for development. It would be unreasonable to deny <br /> development here and have it go on at some equally h~?~rdous area.. <br /> Recognizing this situation, the City and various other public agencies have <br /> maintained a policy which allows development of the Redwood Peninsula (given <br /> that certain technical requirements are met)." (Redwood Peninsula EIR, pp. V-1 - <br /> - V-2.) <br /> <br /> (b) The Planned Development Permit includes a condition requiring the <br /> applicant to comply with all recommendations of the geotechnical report on file <br /> with the Building Division. Compliance with these requirements will reduce <br /> seismic risk. <br /> <br /> (c) Although City requirements and design features incorporated into the <br /> Project will reduce the significance of the identified effect, seismic risk cannot be <br /> entirely eliminated. Compared to existing conditions, therefore, the increased <br /> exposure to seismic incidents is considered a significant impact that cannot be <br /> mitigated. <br /> <br /> (d) The Statement of Overriding Considerations set forth in Section 4 of this <br /> document contains additional information explaining the reasons for the City's <br /> decision to approve the Project in spite of its environmental effects, and is hereby <br /> incorporated by reference. <br /> <br /> -3- <br /> EAFNDGCC.DOC <br /> 7/1 It96 9:56 AM <br /> <br /> <br />
