ATTY/RESO.0034/PC RESO RECOMMENDING CEQA APPROVAL – 505 E. BAYSHORE – EXHIBIT A <br />REV: 05-12-23 JB <br />Page 27 of 30 <br />Biological Resources Impact BIO-C: The project could result in a cumulatively <br />considerable contribution to a significant biological resources impact. <br /> <br />Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HAZ-1: The project could expose <br />construction workers to hazardous materials associated with contaminated fill on the <br />site. <br /> <br />Hazards and Hazardous Materials Impact HAZ-2: The project could create a <br />significant hazard to the public or the environment through reasonably foreseeable upset <br />and accident conditions involving the release of hazardous materials into the <br />environment. <br /> <br />Hazards and Hazardous Impact HAZ-C: The project would not result in a <br />cumulatively considerable contribution to a significant hazards and hazardous materials <br />impact. <br /> <br />Transportation and Traffic Impact TRN-1: The project would conflict with adopted <br />plans for bicycle lanes on E. Bayshore Road. <br /> <br />Transportation and Traffic Impact TRN-2: The project-generated home-based VMT <br />per capita is 13.4, which is greater than the threshold of 10.5 for residential uses. <br />Without measures to reduce VMT, the project would have a significant impact based <br />on the project-generated VMT. <br /> <br />The primary purpose of an EIR’s alternative analysis is to identify and evaluate possible <br />alternatives to the Project that can avoid or substantially lessen the Project’s significant <br />environmental effects while still achieving the basic objectives of the Project. The <br />applicant determined the following to be their objectives for the Project (see DEIR page <br />6): <br />• Redevelop the 2.54-acre site to allow for the creation of a residential waterfront <br />project. <br /> <br />• Construct up to 56 residential units, including eight moderate below market rate <br />units, in nine buildings. <br /> <br />• Provide pedestrian and bicycle circulation around and through the site. <br /> <br />• Enhance public connectivity to the Bay Trail by providing a new public trail <br />segment. <br /> <br />• Provide a high-quality residential project to help improve the regional and <br />Redwood City jobs/housing balance. <br /> <br />• Include sustainability features that help meet Redwood City sustainability goals. <br /> <br />• Provide for‐sale housing (with affordable for‐sale housing) to create
