<br /> 2. implament Mitigafions 5-7{Internal Visual Relationship of Project Development ta
<br /> Electrical Transmission Lines} and 93-1 (Proje�t Compatibifity with the Exi�ting Noise
<br /> Environmen#) identified in chapters 5 (Visual Factors) and 13 (Noise}af the EIR in order
<br /> #o reduce the potential visual and noise impacts of the existing electrical transmissian
<br /> lines to less-than-significant levels.
<br /> Findings: lmplementation of these measures would reduce this patential land
<br /> use compatibility impact ta a less-than-significant 1eve1.
<br /> B. lndustrial and Airport Compatibilitv
<br /> Pntentiai impact 4-1a: The proposed project would be located in the vicinity of existing,
<br /> extended-hour heavy commercia! and industrial uses in the Bair lsland Road/Seaport
<br /> Boulevard/Port of Redwood City area, as well as below existing San Carlos Airport flight
<br /> operations. Activiiies associated wifh the existing heavy commerciaf and industriaf uses in rhe
<br /> area (e.g., asphalt batch plant, concrete ready mix batch plant, heavy equipment yards, metai
<br /> recycling operations) present potential incampatibilities wi#h the proposed residentiaf componenf
<br /> of the project, including possible visual impacts (light intrusion and glare, visual distraction},
<br /> traffic conflicts, noise and vibration, air quality (especially dust), and City land use policies
<br /> regarding compatibility beiween fufure uses and existing heavy commercial and inciustrial uses
<br /> in the area. Each of these environmental issues has been individually evaluated and discussed
<br /> in the EIR, incfuding in chapters 4 (Land Use), 5 (Visual Factors), 7 (Transportation and
<br /> Circu{ation), 13 {Noise}, and 15 {Air Quality). Similarly, potentiai impacts on the proposed
<br /> project associated with San Carlos Airport overflights have been evaluated and discussed in
<br /> EIR chapter 13 (Noise).
<br /> The EIR concludes that, based on factors of distance and separation, indus#rial traffic pafterns,
<br /> prevailing winds, and applicable noise attsnuation requirements, such impacts would be less-
<br /> fhan-significant. Nevertheless, the introduction of mul#i-story residences in the vicinity of
<br /> existing heavy commercial and industriaf activities in the Bair Island Road/Seaport
<br /> Boulevard/Port of Redwood City area and beneath San Carlos Airport averFlights cou[d result in
<br /> an increasP in nuisance complain#s about, and requests to limit, some of these heavy
<br /> comrnercial, industrial, and airport operations and associated visua{, traffic, noise/vibration, and
<br /> air quality nuisance aspects.
<br /> Mitigation 4-1a: To infarm potential project residents of the existing heavy
<br /> commerciai and industrial activities in the Bair Island Road/Seaport Boulevard/Port of Redwood
<br /> City area, flight operations from San Carlos Airport, and possib�e perceptions of associated
<br /> nuisance characteristics, the EIR authors recommend that the City establish, as a condition of
<br /> project appraval, a requirsment, formula#ed to run with the project praperty title, that: (1)
<br /> prospective project residents (including prospective purchasers and tenants} of all project
<br /> residenfia! units shall be notified in writing by the seller or person offering a unit for renf that
<br /> there are existing extended-hour, heavy commercial and industrial activities in the area, as well
<br /> as airport flight operations associated with San Carlos Airport, that may have perceived daytime
<br /> and nighttime visual, traffic, noise/vibrafion, and/or air quality-related nuisance effects; and (2}
<br /> ti�is writfen cfisciosure shal( be included in the sale and rentai agreemenf materials to be signed
<br /> by the prospective prQject residents. This disclosure document would require the
<br /> buyer's/tenant`s initials and acknowledgment, and the same disclosure language would also be
<br /> included in the property Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions {CC&Rs).
