Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 32 ESA / 202100421.01 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 Findings Regarding Impact CR-2: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure CR-3 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact CR-2, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. Mitigation Measure CR-3 requires that i) prior to issuance of grading permits with the amended DTPP area construction crews would be trained regarding possible presence of cultural resources and laws and procedures for protecting cultural resources, ii) that work will be stopped if archaeological resources are discovered on the project site, iii) a qualified archaeologist be retained to evaluate the significance of cultural resources, and iv) appropriate steps be taken to avoid, protect and preserve such resources as described in Mitigation Measure CR-3. Impact CR-4: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of a tribal cultural resource, defined in PRC Section 21074 as either a site, feature, place, cultural landscape that is geographically defined in terms of the size and scope of the landscape, sacred place, or object with cultural value to a California Native American tribe. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure CR-3 (SEIR, pp. 7-21 to 7-23) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact CR-4: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure CR-3 would substantially lessen the severity of Impact CR-4, such that this potential impact would be less than significant, because the measures described in Mitigation Measure CR-3 (as summarized above), in combination with the Cultural Resources Management Plan and existing laws establish sufficient protocol to identify, evaluate, and treat any tribal cultural resources which may be impacted by ground-disturbing projects in the amended DTPP area. 10. Utilities and Infrastructure, Hydrology and Water Quality Impact UT-1: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not require or result in the relocation or construction of new or expanded water, wastewater treatment or storm water drainage, electric power, natural gas, or telecommunications facilities , the construction or relocation of which could cause significant environmental effects. Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measures UT-1a (SEIR, p. 10-26), UT-1b (SEIR, pp. 10-26 to 10-27), UT-1c (SEIR, p. 10-28), and UT-1d (SEIR, p. 10-30) will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. Findings Regarding Impact UT-1: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measures UT-1a, UT-1b, UT-1c, and UT-1d would substantially lessen the severity of Impact UT-1, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. This is because applicants for development projects in the amended DTPP area shall pay a fair-share contribution towards the cost of providing emergency water storage for all proposed uses to fund the design and construction of such storage ensuring non-interruption of water supply in case of a potential drought or disaster-caused
