Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 29 ESA / 202100421.01 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 <br />with those Cal/OSHA worksafe safety standards specific to that development; and have their <br />development equipped with adequate fire protection and hazardous material safety provisions <br />appropriate for that development to minimize potential impacts of hazardous materials. This would <br />ensure these potential individual R&D Laboratory developments would not contribute considerably <br />to cumulative hazardous materials impacts. Additionally, the City intends to adopt standard <br />conditions of approval for R&D Laboratory uses. Accordingly, the cumulative impacts from <br />implementation of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not result in new or more <br />severe cumulative impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts <br />would therefore be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-33 to 17-34.) <br />Impact C-BIO-1: The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments, in combination with past, <br />present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects would result <br />in less-than-significant cumulative impacts related to biological resources. <br />Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments have the potential to impact special- <br />status wildlife species, protected nesting birds, or sensitive riparian habitat, but these potential <br />impacts would be reduced to a less-than-significant level with implementation of Mitigation <br />Measures BIO-1a, BIO-1b, BIO-2a, BIO-2b, and BIO-5. While other projects in the downtown <br />Redwood City area may similarly have potential to impact biological resources, these projects <br />would also be subject to the requirements of the MBTA, California Fish and Game Code, and the <br />City’s tree preservation ordinance. Therefore, the proposed DTPP-Plan-Wide Amendments would <br />not combine with cumulative projects to result in a cumulative impact related to biological <br />resources and would not result in new or more severe cumulative impacts on biological resources <br />than the impact identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts would therefore be less than <br />significant. No mitigation is required. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-34 to 17-35.) <br />Impact C-GEO-1: The proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments, in combination with past, <br />present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects would result <br />in less-than-significant cumulative impacts related to geology and soils. <br />Other projects and developments being implemented in the area (either past, present, or <br />future) would—or have already—complied with similar mitigation measures as the ones proposed <br />as part of the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments, and comply with the same existing laws <br />and regulations that future developments allowed under the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide <br />Amendments will comply with. Therefore, the proposed DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not <br />result in new or more severe cumulative impacts related to geology and soils than the impacts <br />identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts from implementation of the proposed DTPP <br />Plan-Wide Amendments would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-35 to 17-36.) <br />B. Findings Regarding Potentially Significant Impacts <br />The following potential environmental impacts of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments were <br />determined to be potentially significant and to require mitigation measures to avoid their effects or <br />to reduce their severity, as set forth in Chapter 7, Chapters 10 through 13, and Chapters 15 through <br />17 of the DSEIR, as incorporated into the FSEIR. The City Council concurs with the conclusions
