78 ATTACHMENT 4 Page 40 entrance at the Farm Hill BoulevardlWoodhill Drive intersection. (MMRP Mitigation T-1). Finding: Implementation of Measure T-1 would reduce potential impacts from project construction activities on level of service, traffic flow, and safety to a less-than significant level. 2. Impact on Emergency Access Potential Impact 15-e: Emergency access within the campus could be affected by project construction. Specifically, temporary lane closures and construction-related traffic could delay or obstruct the movement of emergency vehicles. (IS/MND Impact 15-e, p. 3-81). Finding: The project description indicates that emergency vehicle access would be retained at all times. The project description includes implementation of a traffic control plan, which includes notification of emergency service providers of construction activities. This potential impact is considered less-than significant with implementation of Mitigation Measure T-1. No additional mitigation is required. 6. LAND USE AND PLANNING CEQA IMPACTS FINDINGS: The CEQA Initial Study checklist used to determine whether or not a project would/would not cause a significant Land Use and Planning environmental impact that might warrant further analysis/mitigation through a subsequent MDN or EIR asks the following questions (refer to MND pages 3-49-3-51): IX. Land Use and Planning: - Would the project: a) Physically divide an established community? The MND sufficiently addresses this question. The MND asserts that the proposed housing project would not physically divide an established community since there are existing residential uses in the surrounding neighborhood, including similar multi-family low density (R-3) development located northeast of the project site. The MND also describes the compatible, supportive nature of the proposed housing project with the existing Canada College educational use. b) Conflict with any applicable land use plan, policy or regulation of an agency with jurisdiction over the project (including, but not limited to the general plan, specific plan, local coastal program or zoning ordinance) adopted for the purpose of avoiding or mitigation an environmental effect? The MND adequately describes the compatibility of proposed and existing residential General Plan and Zoning designations for the project site and surrounding area. There are no specific plans or a local coastal program for the site or surrounding neighborhood. c) Conflict with any applicable habitat conservation plan or natural community conservation plan? Redwood City does not have a conservation plan or natural community conservation plan.
