7.D. - Page 44 of 126 City of Redwood City Mixed -Use Live/Work and Emergency Shelter Zoning Amendment Project Geology and Soils Impact 4.6-1: The plan area is subject to a number of potential Less than seismic hazards, including ground shaking, landslides, significant with liquefaction, and lateral spreading that would affect future mitigation development allowed under the General Plan. Impact 4.6-2: The plan area is subject to a number of geologic Less than and soils -related hazards, including soil erosion, expansive soils, significant slope stability, differential settlement, and subsidence that would affect future development allowed under the General Plan. Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact 4.7-1: Development allowed by General Plan would Less than allow for the use, storage, generation, and disposal of significant hazardous materials, which could lead to the unauthorized release of hazardous materials or exposure of sensitive receptors to harmful emissions. 28 The Final EIR analyzed the impacts of future development The proposed project would allowed under the General Plan with regard to a number of result in less than significant potential seismic hazards, including ground shaking, landslides, impacts from seismic or liquefaction, and lateral spreading. Because Redwood City is geologic hazards. No new or located in a seismically active region, population growth and an more severe impacts would increase in the amount of residential and commercial occur. Impacts would be development in the plan area would result in additional people within the scope of those and structures being exposed to seismic risks and related identified in the General hazards, such as liquefaction and slope instability. However, Plan EIR. compliance with General Plan policies, implementing programs those identified in the and other regulatory programs were found to reduce potential General Plan EIR. impacts associated with development under the General Plan by ensuring that future development projects are appropriately investigated in terms of potential seismic hazards and that any new buildings and structures are constructed to withstand the anticipated range of seismic events. The Final EIR also includes a mitigation measure to limit development where threats from seismic hazards cannot be mitigated; this mitigation measure would continue to apply to the proposed project. The proposed project would not exacerbate seismic or geologic hazards, and projects facilitated by the proposed zoning amendment would be constructed in compliance with applicable building codes. Ev- The proposed project would increase density and intensity of Similar to the conclusions in development in the MULW district. Allowed uses in these the General Plan EIR, the districts include commercial, residential and mixed -uses which proposed project would are not typically associated with use, storage, generation or result in less than significant disposal of hazardous materials. Thus, changes to the impacts from hazardous development standards allowed under the proposed project materials releases. No new would not include an increase in allowed development of uses or more severe impacts typically associated with use, storage, generation, and disposal of would occur. Impacts would hazardous materials, which could lead to the unauthorized be within the scope of release of hazardous materials or exposure of sensitive receptors those identified in the to harmful emissions.
