Impact 4.8-6: Due to the proximity of the plan area to the San Less than Francisco Bay, development allowed by the General Plan could significant be located in an area of potential inundation by seismic -related result of the proposed seiche. project. Impact 4.8-7: Due to the sloping topography of the hillside Less than areas within the western and southern portions of the plan significant area, development allowed by the General Plan could be in circumstances that would affect the environment. located in an area of potential inundation by seismic -related mudflow. Land Use Impact 4.9-1: The General Plan would continue existing Beneficial development patterns by focusing new development in largely urbanized infill areas and major transportation corridors. It would improve connectivity among the various areas of the City through enhanced bicycle, pedestrian, and transit access, fostering connectivity through neighborhoods and blocks. Noise The proposed project involves a zoning ordinance amendment affecting only the MULW zoning district. As discussed in Section 2, Project Description, and throughout this addendum, the changes associated with the proposed project would occur in already developed areas of Redwood City zoned for more intense development and would not result in a significant increase in lot coverage. Therefore, the proposed project would not exacerbate flood risk or risks posed by seismic -related seiche or mudflow. Similar to the conclusions in the General Plan EIR, the proposed project would result in less than significant impacts from flooding, seiche, or mudflows. No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. The proposed project involves a zoning ordinance amendment No new or more severe affecting only the MULW zoning district.

No new or more severe impacts would occur. Impacts would be within the scope of those identified in the General Plan EIR. 649
