7.D. - Page 46 of 126 City of Redwood City Mixed -Use Live/Work and Emergency Shelter Zoning Amendment Project Impact 4.7-5: Adoption of the General Plan would allow development in areas that are at risk for wildland fires. Hydrology and Water Quality Less than Fire risk zones in Redwood City are primarily along the western significant border of the city in the hillside neighborhoods (California Department of Fire and Forestry 2008). As shown in Figure 2, the blocks impacted by the proposed project are located in the eastern and central portions of Redwood City, distant from hillsides. MULW zoning district occur solely in portions of the city surrounded by urban development and they have low fire hazard risk. Impact 4.8-1: Construction activities associated with Less than development allowed by the General Plan could disturb surface significant soils by grading, earthmoving, and vegetation removal, which could result in erosion, sedimentation, and contamination of stormwater runoff, potentially in violation of water quality standards. 30 The proposed project would increase density and intensity of development in the MULW district beyond levels previously analyzed in the Final EIR and 2013 Addendum to the Final EIR. No changes to the existing General Plan or Comprehensive 2013 Zoning Ordinance Amendment policies are proposed. City standard conditions of approval for erosion control plans would remain in place. Table 1 shows that the proposed project would result in an increase in allowable building height of up 20 feet above existing limits while the maximum allowed FAR would remain the same as existing conditions under the General Plan. Therefore, the total disturbed area and associated water quality impacts resulting from development under the proposed project would not substantially exceed those analyzed in the Final EIR or 2013 Addendum to the General Plan EIR. Similar to the conclusions in the General Plan EIR, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts from wildland fires. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. Similar to the conclusions in the General Plan EIR, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts from erosion, sedimentation, and contamination of runoff. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. 647
