Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 10 ESA / 202100421.00 Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new or more severe shadow impacts than the impact identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 6-12 to 6-13.) 7. Cultural and Historic Resources and Tribal Cultural Resources Impact CR-3: Implementation of the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not disturb any human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. No human remains are known to exist in the Transit District area, and therefore, the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments are not anticipated to impact human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. If any previously unknown human remains were encountered during ground disturbing activities impacts would be reduced to a less than significant level with implementation of PRC Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5, which requires the County Coroner will be contacted, and if the remains are Native American, the coroner will contact the NAHC and the most likely descendent will make recommendations for means of treating the human remains and any associated grave goods. The DTPP Final EIR did not specifically address impacts associated with human remains, including those interred outside of formal cemeteries. The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than identified in the Final EIR because the requirements of PRC Section 5097.98 and Health and Safety Code Section 7050.5 are sufficient to reduce this impact to a less-than-significant level. (Draft SEIR, p. 7-22.) 8. Public Services and Recreation Impact PS-1: Implementation of the Transit District would not result in substantial adverse physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios, response times or other performance objectives for police protection. Development within the Transit District area would increase overall demand on police services in the City and within the Downtown area, and new police facilities and equipment may be needed in the future, but cannot be specified by Redwood City Police Department (RCPD) at this time. Should RCPD determine that an additional police substation or community policing center is necessary within the DTPP area, the facility would likely be incorporated into an existing or otherwise‐planned structure similar to the existing Downtown Substation, and would generate no new or more severe impacts on police services beyond those identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, the impact on police protection services would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 8-11 to 8-12.)
