EXHIBIT A FINDINGS ON THE ADDENDUM AND THE MARINA SHORES VILLAGE FEIR The following findings identify potential adverse environmental impacts and mitigation measures and state related determinations of the City of Redwood City concerning proposed development of the Peninsula Park Project. These findings are made with reference to the Addendum to the 2003 Environmental Impact Report for the Marina Shores Village Project and the Draft and Final Environmental Impact Report for the Marina Shores Village Project certified by the Redwood City Planning Commission on July 8, 2003 (the "FEIR") and the Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Program for the Marina Shores Village Project and related Mitigation Monitoring Checklist (together, the "MMRP") approved concurrently with these findings. To avoid repetition and an unnecessarily lengthy document, these findings do not restate in full detail the analysis of impacts or descriptions of mitigation measures in the FEIR and MMRP, but instead identify the FEIR designation of the impacts discussed and the MMRP designations of mitigation measures, so that further information on those impacts and mitigation measures is incorporated by reference and available to any reader. With respect to certain impacts, each identified in Addendum sections 3.1 to 3.12, the detailed Addendum discussion of the impacts of the Peninsula Park Project must be read in light of changes resulting from substitution of the Peninsula Park Project, as discussed in section 2, in place of the Original Marina Shores Village Project. Copies of the Addendum, FEIR, and MMRP are available in the office of the City Clerk. I. LAND USE The Project would have the following potentially significant impacts on land use. A. Electric Transmission Lines Potential Impact 4-1: The project residential components closest to the northern edge of the project site would be in close proximity (as close as 150 feet) to the existing PG&E parallel 230- and 115-kV electrical transmission tower lines. These project- introduced residential! transmission line relationships could result in adverse impacts related to the perceived visual, public health and safety, and noise effects, and could lead to future nuisance complaints. The significance of these impacts is described in chapters 5 (Visual Factors), 12 (Public Health and Safety), and 13 (Noise) of the EIR--see subsections 5.3.3 (Impact 5-7: Internal Visual Relationship of Project Development to Electrical Transmission Lines), 12.3.2 (under "Potential Electromagnetic Field Health Hazards"), and 13.3.2 (Impact 13- 1: Project Compatibility with the Existing Noise Environment). These effects represent a potentially significant land use compatibility impact. Mitigation 4-1: The following measures shall be implemented to address the potential for nuisance impacts related to project relationships to the existing PG&E electrical transmission lines: 1. Provide notification in writing to all prospective residents of all residential units within 200 feet of the edge of the 230-kV!115-kV transmission lines easement that there are existing transmission lines of these specific power ratings, with associated visual and noise characteristics, within that distance; this notification shall be achieved by including such disclosure in the sale and rental agreement materials to be signed by project residents; and 1289\02\ 179278.2 Atty/Reso/Reso.1470 060804
