12/1712007 wet weather conditions and completion of modifications to the sewer line will be required as necessary, subject to approval by the City's Engineering and Construction Department. An upcoming Engineering and Construction Department infrastructure needs report for the East Bayshore area may recommend refinements to the above mitigation based on new, areawide, coordinated research and analysis. Findings: Implementation of these measures, including anyone of options (1), (2), or (3) above, is feasible and would reduce the project and cumulative impact on sewage treatment and transmission capacity to a less-than-significant level. c. Increase in Police Service Demands Potential Impact 10-3: Buildout of the proposed project would increase demands for Redwood City Police Department services in the project vicinity. Project residents, businesses, and employees would generate additional calls for police assistance and the need for expanded police patrols in the area. It is estimated that up to the equivalent of 1.6 additional sworn officers and requisite training, support staff, facilities, and equipment would be necessary at project buildout to adequately serve the project. Without corresponding incremental increases in City police service provisions, police service levels and response times could deteriorate, representing a potentially significant impact. Mitigation 10-3: The Redwood City Police Department shall review the 1997 staffing survey and associated staffing cap policy in light of the proposed Peninsula Park project and other potential nearby development types and levels (e.g., Syufy site) not fully anticipated in 1997. If necessary, the staffing cap of 100 sworn officers shall be raised. If the staffing cap is raised, the City shall use property tax revenue flow increases from the project to the City's general fund to annually fund and employ a minimum equivalent of 1.6 additional sworn officers and requisite training, support staff, facilities, and equipment, adequately phased over the project buildout period (currently estimated at approximately ten years). For each City-approved project development phase, the City shall withhold approval of the project Certificates of Occupancy if it is determined that adequate police protection cannot be provided and normal City service standards cannot be met by the time of occupancy. In addition, project site development plans shall be subject to review by the Redwood City Police Department to identify specific design measures (e.g., street and parking area lighting, placement of open space areas, etc.) that may be warranted to reduce the potential for criminal activity. Findings: Implementation of these Mitigation Measure 10-3 is feasible and would reduce the impact of project-related increases in police service demands to a less-than- significant level. D. Emeraencv Response and Evacuation Impacts Potential Impact 10-4: Project-related traffic would create additional traffic congestion on Bair Island Road, East Bayshore Road, and other local roadways, possibly delaying emergency response and limiting the Police Department's ability to evacuate the project vicinity safely during an emergency or major disaster. These possible project effects on emergency response and evacuation in the project vicinity would represent a potentially significant impact. Atty/Reso/Reso.1772 121707 29 14829 Muff# 613
