03/27/2007 Finding: Implementation of this measure would reduce the Precise Plan Moderate Intensity alternative and cumulative impacts on wastewater treatment and transmission capacity to aless-than-significant level. B. Emergency Response and Evacuation Impacts Impact 10-3: Emergency Response and Evacuation Impacts- Maximum Intensity Precise Plan Alternative. Traffic from potential development under the Maximum Intensity alternative would create additional traffic congestion on local roads, possibly delaying emergency response and limiting the RCPD's ability to evacuate the Precise Plan area safely during an emergency or major disaster. These possible project effects on emergency response and evacuation in the Precise Plan area represent a potentially significant impact. Mitigation 10-3. Implement mitigation measures identified in chapter 9 (Transportation and Circulation) of this EIR to reduce project-related traffic impacts on local roads to less-than-significant levels. In addition, require City review and approval of proposed emergency access provisions prior to approval of individual development projects in the Precise Plan area. Require individual projects to comply with all applicable City of Redwood City road design and emergency access standards. The City may consider other alternatives to these requirements if it determines that such alternatives are feasible and such access will not jeopardize emergency response. Finding: Even if the City Council decides not to implement the mitigation measures identified in chapter 9 of this EIR to reduce project-related traffic impacts on local roads to less-than-significant levels, the implementation of the other measures set forth in Mitigation 10-3 would reduce impacts on emergency access and response to aless-than-significant level. Impact 10-4: Emergency Response and Evacuation Impacts- Moderate Intensity Precise Plan Alternative. Traffic from potential development under the Moderate Intensity alternative would create additional traffic congestion on local roads, possibly delaying emergency response and limiting the RCPD's ability to evacuate the Precise Plan area safely during an emergency or major disaster. These possible project effects on emergency response and evacuation in the Precise Plan area represent a potentially significant impact (see criterion 2 in subsection 10.4.3, "Significance Criteria," above). Mitigation 10-4. Implement mitigation measures identified in chapter 9 (Transportation and Circulation) of this EIR to reduce project-related traffic impacts on local roads to less-than-significant levels. In addition, require City review and approval of proposed emergency access provisions prior to approval Atty/Reso/Reso.1683 23 14769 030707 Muff #613
