7C Page 48 2. Require the applicant to conduct additional analysis utiEizing data an the hydraulic geometry of tidaf marshes to determine fhe effect of a reductian in ±he Redwood Creek tidal prism on the channel geome#ry (e.g., dep#h, cros�- sectional area} of Redwood Creek through the project reach. if the computations indicate loss of effective depths and channel cross-sections, the applicant shall determine the increased volume and frequency of dredging required to maintain navigability in Redwood Creek. The applicant and the City shall then negotiate to determine an equitable fee structure for project residents to compensate for the additional costs of channel maintenance, Findings: Implementation of#he above mitigation rrzeasures would reduce project impacts on siltation rates and dredging frequencies and costs to a less-than-significant level. VII. INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC SERVlGES A. Cumulative Municipal Water Service Demand Potential lmpact 10-1: The project would increase the demand far r-nunicipal water service in the project vicinity. Pursuant to State of Califomia Water Cade Section 10910(g}(1), the City Councif of the City of Redwood Ciiy approved the Water Supply Assessmen# (WSA}for the Peninsula Park project on �ebruary 26, 2007. The WSA determined that the City currently has sufficient water, in most years, to meet the projected water demands of the proposed project together with those of its existing customers and the demands of other planned develapment. However, pursuant to State SB 221, a subsequent water supply assessment must be prepared before project approval/disapproval to determine if the approved WSA is still accurate. Until that determination is made, the anticipated project-related and cumulative demands for water service would represen# a pofenfially significanf project and cumulafive impacf. Mitigation 10-1: As required by State SB 221, prior ta City approval of any tentative map or development agr�ement for#he proposed prnj�c#, the City's Public Works Services Department shafi undertake a subsequent water supply analysis, which shali describe the citywide water supply situation at that future time, reflecting progress on current City studies and plans for finding opportunities for water transfiers, expanding its recycled water pragram, and impiementing additianal "best management prac#ices" {BMPs}for water conservation. As required by SB 221, no tentative map ar developmen#agreemen#shall be approved until a subsequent water supply anafysis concludes that sufficient water w{II be available to serve the propased project needs. The project applicant shal{ also be required tn comply with alf appficable current and future City water demand performance standards, including standards included in the C� of Redwoad Citv Urban Wa#er Manaqement Plan, the City's recycled water project, and the City's water conservation program. Findings: The City-approved WSA has concluded fhat "the City has sufficient water, {n most years, to meet the expected future water demands of the project together with those of existing cus#or-ners and planned future development." Therefore, implementation of this Mitigation Measure 10-1 pursuant#o SB 221 is feasible and would reduce this impact to a less- fhan-significant impact. Atty/Reso/Resa.7 772 27 121307
