Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments 39 ESA / 202100421.01 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report May 2023 <br />Impact BIO-2: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not have a <br />substantial adverse effect on any riparian habitat or other sensitive natural community <br />identified in local or regional plans, policies, regulations or by the California Department of <br />Fish and Game or U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. <br />Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measures BIO-2a and BIO-2b (SEIR, p. 15-13) <br />will be implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. <br />Findings Regarding Impact BIO-2: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the <br />City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measures BIO-2a and BIO-2b would substantially <br />lessen the severity of Impact BIO-2, such that this potential impact would be less than <br />significant. Mitigation Measure BIO-2a would require compliance with the Redwood City <br />Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program, including maintenance of setbacks from <br />Redwood Creek, erosion control methods, and measures for the avoidance of stormwater <br />pollution. Mitigation Measure BIO-2b would require, for projects within the amended <br />DTPP area that involve modifications to potential wetlands, riparian zones, or regulated <br />waters, that the project applicant obtain all required permits and approvals from the U.S. <br />Army Corps of Engineers, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the <br />Regional Water Quality Control Board, including provision of any habitat replacement <br />and/or other measures required by these agencies. The measures above would avoid <br />significant effects on the special-status northern coastal salt marsh community and riparian <br />habitat in Arroyo Ojo. <br />Impact BIO-3: Implementation of the DTPP Plan-Wide Amendments would not have a <br />substantial adverse effect on state or federally protected wetlands (including, but not limited <br />to, marsh, vernal pool, coastal, etc.) through direct removal, filling, hydrological interruption, <br />or other means. <br />Mitigation Measures. SEIR Mitigation Measure BIO-2b (SEIR, p. 15-13) will be <br />implemented for the Project as provided in the MMRP. <br />Findings Regarding Impact BIO-3: Based on the FSEIR and the entire record before the <br />City, the Council finds that Mitigation Measure BIO-3 would substantially lessen the <br />severity of Impact BIO-3, such that this potential impact would be less than significant. As <br />described in the finding above for Impact BIO-2, Mitigation Measure BIO-2b would <br />require, for projects within the amended DTPP area that involve modifications to potential <br />wetlands, that the project applicant obtain all required resource agency permits and <br />approvals, including provision of any required habitat replacement and/or other required <br />measures, thereby avoiding significant effects on wetlands.
