<br />12/17/2007 <br /> <br />Mitigation 6-1: Implement the mitigation measures identified in other sections of <br />this EIR related to project population-induced environmental impacts (Transportation and <br />Circulation, Infrastructure and Public Services, Noise, and Air Quality). Those mitigations <br />identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 6-1 that would remain applicable to the current Peninsula <br />Park project are: <br /> <br />1. Traffic Mitigations 7-7 through 7-17; <br /> <br />2. Public Service Mitigations 10-4 through 10-7 and 10-9; <br /> <br />3. Noise Mitigations 13-1 and 13-2; and <br />4. Air Quality Mitigation 15-1. <br /> <br />Due to the overall reduction in residential and commercial development proposed <br />by the current Peninsula Park project, the following mitigation measures identified in the 2003 <br />EIR are no longer necessary, or have been modified to address the revised project, as identified <br />throughout this Addendum: <br /> <br />1. Traffic Mitigations 7-1 through 7-6 and 7-18 through 7-27 (all eliminated); <br />2. Public Service Mitigations 10-1, 10-2, and 10-8 (all modified); <br /> <br />3. Noise Mitigation 13-3 (modified); and <br /> <br />4. Air Quality Mitigation 15-2 (eliminated). <br /> <br />Findings: Implementation of the retained or modified measures identified above <br />would reduce identified environmental impacts associated with the project-related population <br />increase to a less-than-significant level, with the exception of the cumulative with project <br />traffic impact on the EI CaminolWhipple Avenue intersection (Impact 7-15), which would remain <br />significant and unavoidable. Due to right-of-way and physical constraints, both of the <br />mitigation alternatives discussed in Mitigation 7-15 are deemed infeasible. Such changes or <br />alterations are within the responsibility and jurisdiction of either Caltrans or the Peninsula <br />Corridor Joint Powers Board (Caltrain) and not the City of Redwood City. Such changes can or <br />should be adopted by Caltrans or Caltrain. This impact is also overridden by project benefits as <br />set forth in the statement of overriding considerations. <br /> <br />B. Emplovment Growth <br /> <br />Potential Impact 6-2: This project-related local employment growth (estimated <br />at 125 new employees) has the potential to result in employment-related environmental effects <br />(traffic, public services, noise, and air quality) as described in corresponding chapters of the EIR <br />(see chapters 7, 10, 13, and 15), representing a potentially significant project and cumulative <br />impact. <br /> <br />Mitigation 6-2: Implement the mitigation measures identified in other sections of <br />this table related to project employment-related environmental impacts (Transportation and <br />Circulation, Infrastructure and Public Services, Noise, and Air Quality). Those mitigations <br />identified in the 2003 EIR for Impact 6-2 that would remain applicable to the current Peninsula <br />park project are: <br /> <br />Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 <br />121707 <br /> <br />9 <br /> <br />14829 <br />Muff# 613 <br />
