Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 14 ESA / 202100421.01 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 <br />Impact PS-6: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in <br />substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically <br />altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the <br />construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain <br />acceptable service ratios or other performance objectives for libraries. <br />Any Downtown Library facility expansion or improvements developed as a result of the <br />proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would be required to undergo environmental review as <br />they are identified. Appropriate measures would be identified and implemented as applicable to <br />reduce any construction-related or operational effects of those facilities and the proposed DTPP <br />Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than were identified in <br />the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to libraries associated with the proposed DTPP <br />Plan-Wide Amendments would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, p. 8-20.) <br />9. Transportation and Circulation <br />Impact TR-1: Implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not <br />conflict with a program, plan, ordinance or policy addressing the circulation system, <br />including transit, roadway, bicycle and pedestrian facilities. <br />The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would be consistent with and promote General <br />Plan, DTPP policies, and RWCmoves goals for the Downtown area, and thus, implementation of the <br />proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not conflict with a program, plan, ordinance, or <br />policy addressing the circulation system, including transit, roadway, bicycle, and pedestrian <br />facilities. The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more severe <br />circulation-related impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, the impact <br />would be less than significant and no mitigation measures would be required. (Draft SEIR, pp. 9-20 <br />to 9-24.) <br />Impact TR-2: Implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not <br />conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines Section 15064.3, subdivision (b). <br />With implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments, and accounting for <br />implementation of the City’s Transportation Demand Management Ordinance, daily vehicle miles <br />traveled (VMT) per capita for trips with an origin or destination within the amended DTPP area <br />would be 7.8 for residential uses and 14.9 for office uses. In each case, VMT per capita would be <br />below the City’s thresholds of 10.5 (residential) and 15.0 (office), and therefore the impact would <br />be less than significant. Additionally, the proposed changes to the street network would not <br />meaningfully increase VMT per capita and therefore would also have a less-than-significant impact <br />with respect to VMT. Accordingly, implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments <br />would not conflict or be inconsistent with CEQA Guidelines section 15064.3(b) and the proposed <br />DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new significant VMT impacts, nor would it <br />result in any new or substantially more severe impacts related to traffic than were identified in the <br />DTPP Final EIR.
