Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 12 ESA / 202100421.00 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 <br />no new or more severe impacts on recreational facilities than the impact identified in the DTPP <br />Final EIR. This impact would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 8-15 to 8-16.) <br />Impact PS-5: Implementation of the Transit District would not result in substantial adverse <br />physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental <br />facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which <br />could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios <br />or other performance objectives for schools. <br />The addition of elementary and middle school-aged students to the Redwood City School <br />District (RCSD) due to development within the proposed Transit District would likely require <br />facility updates to increase capacity for RCSD, and particularly at Clifford School to accommodate <br />the growth in elementary and middle school-aged students. The addition of high school-aged <br />students to Sequoia Union High School District (SUHSD) due to development within the proposed <br />Transit District would likely require facility updates to increase capacity for SUHSD, and <br />particularly at Sequoia High School to accommodate the growth in high school-aged students. <br />Projects developed within the proposed Transit District would be required to comply with <br />California Government Code Section 65996, which would mitigate the potential effect on public <br />school facilities from the new student population that would be generated by the Transit District. <br />In addition, any expansion of school facilities would be required to undergo environmental review <br />as they are identified. Appropriate measures would be identified and implemented as applicable to <br />reduce any construction-related or operational effects of those facilities. There would be no new or <br />more severe impacts on school services associated with the Transit District than the impact <br />identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Therefore, this impact would be less than significant. (Draft <br />SEIR, pp. 8-16 to 8-17.) <br />Impact PS-6: Implementation of the Transit District would not result in substantial adverse <br />physical impacts associated with the provision of new or physically altered governmental <br />facilities, need for new or physically altered governmental facilities, the construction of which <br />could cause significant environmental impacts, in order to maintain acceptable service ratios <br />or other performance objectives for libraries. <br />Any Downtown Library facility expansion or improvements developed as a result of the <br />proposed Transit District would be required to undergo environmental review as they are identified. <br />Appropriate measures would be identified and implemented as applicable to reduce any <br />construction-related or operational effects of those facilities and the proposed Transit District DTPP <br />Amendments would not result in new or more severe impacts than were identified in the DTPP <br />Final EIR. Therefore, impacts related to libraries associated with the Transit District would be less <br />than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 8-17 to 8-18.)
