Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 21 ESA / 202100421.01 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 <br />Therefore, impacts related to the accidental release of hazardous materials would be less than <br />significant. (Draft SEIR, p. 14-10.) <br />Impact HAZ-3: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not emit <br />hazardous emissions or handle hazardous or acutely hazardous materials, substances, or <br />waste within one-quarter mile of an existing or proposed school. <br />Future development within the amended DTPP area would require construction and <br />possibly demolition activities, which would require the emission, transport, use, and disposal of <br />hazardous materials within one-quarter mile of a school. All activities associated with handling <br />hazardous materials during future development would be subject to the federal, state, and local laws <br />in place to ensure the proper handling of hazardous materials, in the event of an accidental release. <br />Compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws would ensure that impacts from the <br />proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than the <br />impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to the accide ntal release of <br />hazardous materials would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 14-10 to 14-11.) <br />Impact HAZ-4: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would be located on a <br />site which is included on a list of hazardous materials sites compiled pursuant to Government <br />Code Section 65962.5 and, would not create a significant hazard to the public or the <br />environment. <br />Future development within the amended DTPP area would require construction and possibly <br />demolition activities, which could expose previously contaminated soil or groundwater. Each new <br />future developer would be subject to the same previously discussed state and local laws and any <br />potential impacts from the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more <br />severe impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to the <br />exposing people and/or the environment to prior contamination associated with existing hazardous <br />materials sites would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 14-11 to 14-12.) <br />Impact HAZ-5: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in a <br />safety hazard or excessive noise for people residing or working in the project area. <br />The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would allow for future development which <br />would not surpass the existing building height restrictions. The amended DTPP area is <br />approximately 1.4 miles southeast of the San Carlos Airport of an airport but is not within and noise <br />or safety zones established in the San Mateo County ALUCP. Future development within the <br />amended DTPP area would be designed consistent with the land use restrictions established in the <br />San Mateo County ALUCP. Therefore, impacts from the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments <br />would not result in new or more severe impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR.6 <br />Therefore, impacts related to safety and noise hazards associated with airports would be less than <br />significant. (Draft SEIR, p. 14-8.) <br /> 6 As noted above under Impact NO-4, the entirety of the amended DTPP area is outside the airport’s 60 CNEL noise <br />contour and, therefore, no significant noise impacts would ensue.
