7.D. - Page 58 of 126 City of Redwood City Mixed -Use Live/Work and Emergency Shelter Zoning Amendment Project Impact 4.15-5: Development allowed by the General Plan may Less than generate a demand for wastewater treatment that exceeds the significant capacity of the wastewater treatment provider. Impact 4.15-6: Development allowed by the General Plan could Less than result in increased solid waste generation over existing levels, significant but would not require additional landfill capacity. The General Plan would comply with pertinent regulations regarding solid waste. 42 The Final EIR concluded that development under the General Similar to the conclusions in Plan would not increase the City's wet weather flow potential the General Plan EIR, the beyond its current capacity allocation. Additionally, proposed project would implementation of General Plan policies and programs such as result in less than significant Policy BE -22.2 which requires all new development to pay its fair impacts from increased share contributions toward the cost of any needed new demand on wastewater infrastructure, including wastewater treatment capacity would treatment facilities. No new ensure impacts to waste water capacity would be less than or more severe impacts significant. would occur. Impacts would The proposed project would increase density and intensity of be within the scope of development in the MULW district. As discussed in Section 2, those identified in the Project Description, the proposed project would not result in an General Plan EIR. increase in building footprint beyond that allowed in the New General Plan. Therefore, there would be no change in the amount of impervious surface in the project area as a result of the proposed project. Furthermore, the proposed project would not alter existing General Plan policies and program aimed at reducing impacts to waste water capacity nor result in changes to the Silicon Valley Clean Water's 10 -year Capital Improvement Program. Therefore, the proposed project would not result in a new impact or change in circumstances effecting the environment. The Final EIR concluded that growth allowed under the General Similar to the conclusions in Plan could increase solid waste generation by 60 tons per day, the General Plan EIR, the which is equivalent to less than 1 percent of the maximum proposed project would permitted capacity of landfills serving the plan area. According to result in less than significant the Final EIR, under the General Plan, remaining permitted impacts from increased capacity at area landfills would be approximately 60 tons per solid waste. No new or day. more severe impacts would Given that the proposed project would increase the population occur. Impacts would be by 1.4 percent above levels analyzed in the Final EIR and waste within the scope of those generated by development under the General Plan was identified in the General estimated at 60 tons per day, it can be estimated that the Plan EIR. proposed project would generate approximately 6 tons of solid waste per day. This would be within the existing permitted capacity of landfills serving the project area. Therefore, no new impacts or changes in circumstances affecting the environment would occur. 659
