Findings and Statements Required by the California Environmental Quality Act <br />Redwood City Transit District DTPP Amendments 27 ESA / 202100421.00 <br />Subsequent Environmental Impact Report October 2022 <br />severe cumulative impacts than the impacts identified in the DTPP Final EIR. The cumulative <br />traffic noise impacts resulting from the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would be less <br />than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-21 to 17-23.) <br />Impact C-AQ-3: Adoption of the Transit District, in combination with past, present, existing, <br />approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects, would not result in a <br />cumulatively considerable contribution to local odor impacts. <br />The Transit District area does not contain any major sources of odor that would contribute <br />to a cumulative odor impact in the vicinity. Odor sources associated with food service <br />establishments in the Transit District area would be enforced through compliance with BAAQMD <br />Rule 6-2. Therefore, the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments’ cumulative impact with <br />respect to odors would not result in new or more severe cumulative impacts than what was <br />identified in the DTPP Final EIR. Cumulative impacts would not be considerable and therefore <br />would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-23 to 17-24.) <br />Impact C-CC-2: The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, in conjunction with past, <br />present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects in the City, <br />would not result in energy use that would be considered wasteful and unnecessary or conflict <br />with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or energy efficiency under <br />cumulative conditions. <br />The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, in conjunction with cumulative <br />development in the City, would allow increased development in an already developed area and <br />result in increased energy consumption. Potential impacts to energy resources from future <br />development in the Transit District area would require applications for development permits that <br />would be evaluated for code compliance on a case-by-case basis. Thus, all subsequent development <br />projects proposed within the Transit District area would be subject to compliance with all federal, <br />state, and local requirements for energy efficiency, including the California Energy Code Building <br />Energy Efficiency Standards, the CALGreen Code, and SB 743. Consequently, subsequent projects <br />within the Transit District area would not result in significant environmental impacts from the <br />wasteful, inefficient, or unnecessary consumption of energy resources during construction or <br />operation; and would not conflict with or obstruct a state or local plan for renewable energy or <br />energy efficiency. Therefore, the proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments would not result in <br />new or more severe cumulative impacts than were identified in the DTPP Final EIR and the <br />cumulative energy impact would be less than significant. (Draft SEIR, pp. 17-27 to 17-28.) <br />Impact C-HAZ-1: The proposed Transit District DTPP Amendments, in combination with <br />past, present, existing, approved, pending, and reasonably foreseeable future projects would <br />result in less-than-significant cumulative impacts related to hazards and hazardous <br />materials. <br />Other projects and developments being implemented in the area will be required to comply <br />with the same existing laws and regulations that future developments allowed under the proposed <br />Transit District DTPP Amendments will comply with. Further, as all new development within the <br />Transit District area would be subject to existing laws and regulations and subject to applicable
